Dappled Light

This large painting evokes the experience of light filtering through an Australian bush landscape. Vertical drips and elongated strokes suggest tree trunks and falling light, creating a sense of height and movement across the canvas.

The upper section feels airy and sunlit, with soft whites, pale pinks, and muted greens capturing the brightness of the Australian sky breaking through foliage. As the composition deepens downward, richer greens, teals, and earthy tones emerge, reflecting the layered undergrowth and shadowed forest floor.

The fluid application of paint gives the work a natural rhythm, echoing the way light shifts and flickers through gum trees. Rather than depicting the bush literally, the painting captures its atmosphere—its colour, energy, and the distinctive play of light that defines the Australian landscape.
