Moody Morning Sky

I am endlessly inspired by my local beach at Curl Curl. On this particular early morning, all the the clouds hung in the sky, suspended in a long dramatic line.. Dogs are everywhere. In my paintings they are often symbolic more than real - so I make them surreal. This one is green with red stripes (well, why not?). In my world, dogs symbolise unconditional love, awe, wonder and joy. They embody “the present moment” like no other creature on this planet (as far as I am aware). Perhaps I put them in my work to remind me that all these things are my aspirations.
