Artwork Description
This painting was inspired by a scene between Temora and Cootamundra on my drive home from work one afternoon. It was an exceptionally overcast summer evening with a stormy sky, and the sun was sitting right on the horizon beneath a thick, dark sky. What caught my attention was the intense contrast: the sky was so dark, yet the last moments of sunlight filled the crop with a vibrant golden-orange hue. The sunlight speckled through the seeds in the wheat heads, creating a beautiful effect. I also loved how the GPS tractor tyre lines formed perfect leading lines to a distant tree on the hill, adding a sense of intrigue about what lay beyond the crest.
