The World at my doorstep
Afternoon Light - Canowindra Oil sketch 40x30cm
Again, just outside my home. I am passionate about painting things that are familiar. It’s here where an artist can see the beauty in ordinary things. Ordinary life to each person will mean something different. That’s the beauty of it. The everyday reality is where you find universal truth and you don’t have to go anywhere special to find something worth painting.
“Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.” Louise Nevelson.
The main street of Canowindra has so many variations when it comes to light. This painting seems to me to be ambiguous and yet I think it’s not that far off the truth.
