I grew up in the bush … or at least it was back then. Today it is probably another suburb of Melbourne.

Back when I was a little fella on the weekends at sun up a group of local kids would head off on mighty adventures into the bush. We would usually end up searching for yabbies in the local creek. It was always an all day adventure.

By the time the sun was starting to settle we would be just arriving back home. Mum would always be out the back door calling out for us … home at last!

These days so many people are searching for enlightenment and peace of mind. But what do you do when you have found it? The ancient Chinese proverb says that “before enlightenment you chop wood and carry water … after enlightenment you chop wood and carry water.”

So as the sun sets on another day in Autumn in the hills Mum is out there bringing in the washing. Oh … that reminds me … I have dishes to do!

Australian Landscape Painting Gum Trees – Brisbane Ranges Farm

“Brisbane Ranges Farm”

Original Oil Painting – 8″x 10″

SOLD

Original Oil on loose Canvas.

Scattered around the Brisbane Ranges are little towns and lots of farms. Came across this farm house at the foothills of the ranges. What caught my eye wasd the light on the big gum tree.

As a landscape artist who focuses on plein air painting capturing the light is a constant challenge and what keeps me focused on improving every time I put brush to canvas.

Australian Landscape Oil Painting – Steiglitz House

“Steiglitz House”

Original Oil Painting – 8″x 10″

SOLD

For some reason I find myself drawn back to Steiglitz to paint the old buildings set amongst the bush.

Back in the gold rush era Steiglitz was a boom town. Today there are a handful of the original buildings left to serve as a reminder of the past. Steiglitz is located in the Brisbane Ranges and is nestled in a valley in the bush.

I first painted there in one of the episodes of the TV show ‘Plein Air Painting’ and then went back again for my next TV show ‘Yes You Can Paint’. I also taught this particular painting in a recent art workshop.

Australian Landscape Painting – Home Among The Gum Trees

“Home Among The Gum Trees”

Original Oil Painting – 8″x 10″

SOLD

You know the song … ‘Give me a home among the gum trees?’

Well I was out visiting an artist friend of mine recently in Woodend up in the beautiful Macedon Ranges. When I left him I asked where was a good spot to do some plein air painting before I headed back home. He took me out to this spot on the road back towards Dalesford up on a hill with the Macedon Ranges and Hanging Rock in the distance.

It was an ideal spot for some plein air painting … old farm house, farm sheds, gum trees and views.

As I happily painted aways for the next few hours I could not help but sing the song … ‘Give me a home among the gum trees’
