Art Style: Mixed media combining watercolor and acrylic with watercolor paper collage. The textured application creates a layered landscape with dramatic gray mountains against a mint-green sky. Bold yellow fields and vibrant red-orange terrain are enhanced by the dimensional quality of paper elements. The blue and green figures are rendered with loose, fluid brushwork contrasting with the collaged elements.
Art Inspiration: This painting emerged from a soul-stirring run with my son through Victoria's High Country bushland during our camping adventure. The towering gray peaks mirror the ancient mountains we witnessed standing guard over golden meadows. The blue figure represents my son racing ahead with boundless energy, while green hints at my following presence. The red-orange earth reflects the rich soil beneath our feet and the warmth of connection formed in wild places. This shared journey through untamed terrain became a metaphor for our relationship—navigating different paths while remaining connected by the landscape of family bonds.
