Following in the footsteps of the Australian impressionist, this landscape painting is on a wood panel sized the same as the cigar box lids they often used. I have selected a similar colour palette to depict this scene at Dunns Swamp in the Capertee Valley, country NSW. This is a place with a sad history where the Aboriginal people who lived and farmed the area were wiped out by settlers poisoning their drinking water with arsenic. Such a tragic episode in our history, probably unknown to many. This is a beautiful part of the world, but there is an eeriness here, a sense of the past, that is haunting and should not be forgotten. I have framed this panel in a thin grey oak box frame. It is small and could look good resting on a shelf or hanging on a wall space between windows or doors.
