Additional Information

Gum Swamp, Forbes is a medium sized work in portrait format, painted in acrylic on deep sided stretched cotton duck. The painting features a wetland area that feeds into the Lachlan River in Forbes NSW.

This work is unframed, but is ready to hang on deep sided canvas.The painting continues around the sides of the canvas. The colours feature cool blues with yellow and brown ochres. The painting style is abstracted and textured with multiple brush strokes overlaying colour and is highly textured.

Gum Swamp is an area that I visit often. At different times of the year it teems with visiting bird life, water birds and woodland birds in the adjacent woodland forest. Gum Swamp is a haven for bird watchers and people just wanting to relate to or be immersed in nature. This painting strives to show the peace of the area but also the vitality of the environment.
