This painting was mostly invented with a bit of memory thrown in. It was inspired by the setting sun over Lake Wendouree. I drove to the Lake and put a few brushstrokes on the panel then finished the rest of it in the studio. Occasionally I went back to the lake at sunset to refresh my memory. It took many months to complete, but not many months of continuous work. I always seem to need lots of time to finish a painting as I give much thought to it and thoughts seem to take their time to settle.
