A view from the start of the Bibbulmun Track at Donnelly River Village heading towards Pemberton which features Blackbutt, Jarrah and distance Karri trees. Painted on location just off the track during the Donnelly River Residency 2022. The painting was left unattended for half an hour during a downpour of rain, during that time the lower half of the painting was smudged due to a kangaroo ‘exploring’ the painted surface. Imprints of the kangaroo’s nose can still be seen within the work. The focus of this work was to capture the changing light and the flow between negative and positive space within the background trees.
