Afternoon Light in New Farm Park

$1,000.00
sold out

New Farm Park is one of Brisbane's oldest and most popular parks; but the first few times I visited I’m ashamed to say I didn’t really see the appeal. However after revisiting the rose garden recently and seeing it in the beautiful and warm afternoon light, my eyes were opened to the beauty of the park.

The painting is based off a smaller plein air painting I made while in the park (the video of the process is on my YouTube channel). It was made with the works of the impressionist painters, who I revere so much, in mind.

Written on the painting is an accompanying poem to go with the piece. It reads:

I’ve been to this place a few times afore

But never noticed its beauty

I kept unworthy light and more

Now alone I atone absolutely
