‘Her Freedom Was The Estuary At Dusk’
Watercolour/Gouache, 8” x 10”
So this painting seemed to take forever, there were so many details that I wanted to get right. It was inspired by one of my favourite places at Port Noarlunga, the Onkaparinga River Estuary. I love to go there, it is such a magical place and teeming with life despite human interference. I really wanted to capture some of the plants and the Sacred Ibis and try to capture some feeling of what it is like out there on a warm night. I don’t know if I have succeeded. It is also a place I feel really free and even though I am alone, I am with all the life out there, so not alone at all. It is a place where all the demands of the world seem to disappear and I can just be.
