The Edge of Stillness
soft pastel 66.5 x 96 cm / framed 89.5 x 119 cm The Edge of Stillness This artwork is the largest pastel painting I’ve ever created. I chose a large scale to convey the grandeur of the scene, with layers of mountains stretching into the distance. A place close to my heart since childhood, the Blue Mountains continue to captivate me with their breathtaking scale, rugged beauty, and the quiet power of the majestic cliffs and rock formations. Whether clear, cloudy, or hazy skies, the changing light subtly alters the mood of the landscape, highlighting different aspects of the mountain panorama

In Between
This view towards Pulpit Rock Lookout was inspired by a late afternoon walk at Govetts Leap near Blackheath in the Blue Mountains. As the sun lowered, deep blue shadows moved across the cliffs and tree canopy, hiding details in mystery and shifting the mood of the landscape.

Rippled Reflections
The surface of the river is always shifting, with reflections that move and change in mesmerizing patterns, catching the summer light of the Australian bush. The Potholes Reserve and Bargo River, Tahmoor, are places I often return to. This painting invites quiet reflection and a gentle moment of calm.
