Abstract Australian Artist

 Australian artist this month is John olsen 


who has been one of the biggest inspirations for my art Journey


quote "to be an Australian artist is to be an adventurer"


                 HE IS SAID TO BE AUSTRALIA'S  GREATEST LIVING PAINTER

                            John Olsen keeps an open eyed innocence of a child
                                       
                                             A tribute to John Olsen here


       A journey into You Beaut country series is a landscape of the mind
One of my favourite works here "Where the bee sucks, there suck I" that he borrowed from Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' 

It reflects on the country life in Clarendon, South Australia linking the land, light, people and attitudes of Australians. 

A big attraction for me is John's use of strong colours that creates a joyful sense of place while his curvilinear style makes us feel so alive.

This flowing energy is essential to maintain my belief that "art is the process"

                 


     My 'Dragon' Encaustic Wax painting is a typical example of John's influence
