It was a pleasure to be nominated once again
as a finalist for the Watershed Art Prize. This is a unique exhibition of art
works that aims to shine a spotlight upon the increasingly important issue of
water conservation. The exhibition has continued
to be supported by the Salisbury City Council and sponsored by the
International Centre of Excellence in Water Resource Management.
I was very pleased to be awarded third
prize with my painting entitled ‘Banrock Reflections’. The piece was inspired
by my first visit to Banrock Station and the beautiful wetlands of the north
east region of South Australia.
As I discovered, the wetlands at Banrock
Station are indeed very special. Emerging as an unexpected oasis amongst
inhospitable surroundings, these scenic waterways attract a myriad of bird
life. However, what I sought to capture in my painting was its tranquil sense
of quiet and the beauty of flora interplaying with luminous light and
reflections.
