484 From the satellite This semi-abstract contemporary landscape painting is based on a birds-eye view of inland Australian deserts. The enormous dry landscape unfolds as if seen from a satellite. The colours and textures indicate the nature of the great mountain ranges, the sun-dried parched plains and the sparse scattered pockets of vegetation. Traces of watercourses and remnants of billabongs seem to be vaguely outlined. An intense burnt orange dominates the colour scheme,
with yellows, browns and Spinifex greens, a lively and beautiful image. |
