My painting is of the harsh sunlight and untidy bush near Corowa, NSW, where Tom Roberts painted Shearing the Rams. I visited in January as a kind of artist pilgrimage. The original shearing shed burned down long ago, but a replica now stands nearby. This stretch of bush is rich in the history of Australian painting, and visiting it inspired me to paint this piece.
In my painting, two figures walk towards the shed. They are intentionally ambiguous, standing in for the settlers, artists, and others who have moved through this bush before me.
I wanted this painting to feel intriguing, and almost mysterious as you come up with your own story where the two figures are going and why. I wanted to capture the intense heat of the day, the crisp crackling grasses underfoot and the dry summer wind in the trees.
