My painting, Tea Tree Haze was painted during a long stint in the bush. It was just before Spring and there was a lot of rain around- I could smell the tea tree everywhere. As the water dries- a mist forms above the tea tree bush- my painting is a memory of this.
I always love painting slightly away from the subject as it allows for a poetic interpretation of painting, filled with personal rhythms and imaginative clusters. It’s like a dream.
