The Australian Outback light is intense, full of colour and heat. Paint thickens as the asphalt heats, sticky and viscous. This light is tempered, come dusk, changing the palette. In this rugged, timeless land life abounds despite this harshness; quirky, intrusive, claiming its ownership. 

I am concerned with mark-making, to capture the feeling of a surface, which may contrast with the surrounding textures. I use a variety to tools to scrape and work with the paint to build up a textured surface, which is often in contrast with the smoothness of water and reflections.
