Down the Track a bit… by Linda Gregor The incredible colours of the Tanami Desert – dry spinifex grasses sitting against the red earth, and a deep blue sky. Impasto was applied to my acrylic paints with the palette knife giving great texture.

The incredible colours of the Tanami Desert create a wonderful display – dry spinifex grasses sitting against the red earth, and what often seems like a deep blue sky. Perhaps the blue is intensified by the contrasting earth. Northwest of Alice Springs, the Anmatyerr Country has seen some rain as the bush flowers are popping with yellow.

This was an exciting piece to create, after visiting this area in years gone by, memories came back to me of such a wonderful experience – the space, the dry heat, the quiet and the sounds of nature, the people, the colours so different to others in Australia.

Impasto was applied to my acrylic paints with the palette knife giving great texture. My intention was to capture the dryness of the earth and the roughness of the vegetation in a contemporary style. I was pleased with the result!
