Lyn Graham Simpson Desert 4 Oil On Linen 60 X 90
  • Lyn Graham Simpson Desert 4 Oil On Linen 60 X 90

Additional Information

Simpson Desert 4 by Lyn Graham is from a series of 20 paintings called Disappearing Skylines.

One day when I was on Teewah Beach north of Noosa looking up at the high coastal dunes I realised they reminded me of the rusting roofs in Brisbane’s West End where I live. I thought of the beautiful corrugated iron roofs that are disappearing, making way for high-rise towers, just as the coastal dunes are eroding. I thought then of the changing deserts, the vanishing forests and the rising oceans.

In this series, I focus on the beauty of the skylines we love. They are disappearing as the climate changes and development, mining, tourism and logging ramp up.

Simpson Desert 4 is one of 4 paintings that came from trips to Birdsville, almost 1,600 km west of Brisbane on the edge of the Simpson Desert in Australia’s arid Outback. In summer the temperature exceeds 45 degrees Celsius for weeks on end and it’s too dangerous to go into the desert. Years can go by without a drop of rain but I was there after good rains so the plants were lush and the desert was surprisingly awash with water.

The Disappearing Skylines paintings show what I saw and felt when I visited these places. I thought of the beauty that was there and what may be there tomorrow.

I paint in oils because I love their sensuous nature and the colours they create. This oil painting is on high-quality triple-primed stretched linen canvas. It is ready to hang or, if you prefer, it can be framed in a floating wooden frame. Please contact help@artloversaustralia.com.au for framing inquiries.
