Whispers

Rooted in the golden, sunburnt plains of the Southern Flinders Ranges, a lone tree—weathered and wise—stands as both monument and memory. Once vibrant, now bare, its twisted limbs reach into the vast Australian sky, offering perch and refuge to a galah mid-flight. Beneath it, remnants of an old cart rest half-buried, a silent tribute to the passage of time and toil.

Rendered in rich oil paint with textured, expressive strokes, this impressionistic work evokes the feeling of heat-drenched silence and enduring spirit. The purples of the distant hills contrast with the sunlit foreground, capturing not only a landscape but its lifeblood: resilience, rest, and remembrance.
