I was visiting family in northern Victoria, Australia, just before Christmas. I’ve long admired this majestic gum tree across from their place. I’d toyed with the idea of painting it for ages, but I couldn’t quite get it right.
At dusk it was finally cool enough to venture outside. I went for a lazy after-dinner walk down the dirt road past this paddock. A distant bushfire had turned the sky hazy and the colours vivid. The contrast of gold against the blue shadows was stunning. I climbed into the long grass to get a shot of this view. I knew I was finally going to paint it.
I wanted this painting to capture the golden light of an Aussie summer and how the heat dials up the colours.
