Artist Statement - October 2016
I really enjoyed painting this picture. It’s the claypans and big enough to lose yourself in for days! If you look closely you can see how I paint. All red and then basic shapes drawn in, in a mix of red and blue (which makes the darkest colour I use) and then layered small strokes placed over the red. I only use red, blue, white and yellow and I mix the colour with each brush stroke. It’s a little time consuming, but there’s plenty of time to think! Sometimes it’s a balance between undercooking and overcooking! It’s good not to lose all the red! I called it ‘Lovely One’ because when I showed a photo of it to some of the mob at the Purple House, that was the response! High praise from some fantastic Western Desert Artist super stars!
