Belynda Henry Think about you

I live on 40 acres on the NSW Central Coast. My everyday fascination with the Australian landscape inspires what I paint. Living at the end of a long valley, which I drive through daily, I am constantly and automatically gathering views, flashes of moments and images that I see.

I don’t attempt to paint a clear representation of the area but take from everywhere. Then, back in my bushland studio, I reassemble the memories much like a jigsaw into a simplified and emotional interpretation of the beauty that surrounds me.

The wintery colours, simplified forms and subtle sense of movement depict a completely isolated view. The title adds a suggestion of human involvement within the landscape.
