On the Road from Glen Davis, Capertee Valley, 2023, oil on board, 30.5 x 40.5.
The Capertee Valley, on the north-western edge of the Blue Mountains 80 kms from Sydney, is the second largest canyon in the world next to the North American Grand Canyon. Instead of a steep rocky base carved by the roaring Colorado River, here rich farmlands extend for 30 kms. surrounded by sheer sandstone ramparts.
Working at break-neck speed this painting was completed in en plain-air in five hours.
