Near Winter's End, 2004, oil on canvas, 76 x 51 cm
There are a lots of trees growing along the side of Lake Wendouree so this painting is a heavily edited image. The two trees in this painting caught my eye and the composition was arranged around them. I had the intention of creating a completely grey winter's day but during one of my painting sessions the clouds moved across he sky and the blue tint of a sunny sky revealed itself. I loved the contrast but even more than this, it seemed like the end of something and the beginning of something else.
