Deep Creek (50 x 158 cm)

Another in the series of cliff subjects, this one taken from near the Deep Creek estuary on the western side of Fraser Island: another ancient dune system, with beautiful red-pink oxides colouring the sandstone cliff face, gradually subsiding into the sea. It is a simple subject, yet not so simple, the red and salmon pink cliffs reflecting into blue-green water … the shapes are fascinating; just love the colour complementaries, juxtaposing with the rhythmic movements of water, the blue from the sky joining in with their play.

A light coloured araucaria pine, minimal shadowbox frame presents the subject well.
