Artist/Gallery notes

GALLERY: There is something very romantic about this painting with the houses like castles in the sky and the deep reds under the cliffs. The woman and dog are hardly visible but give a sense of grandeur and scale. ARTIST: "I worked on this painting over a long period and it went through several versions. It is a real view and those houses exist but they have been progressively modified as the painting changed shape and meaning. Somehow I wanted the lightness and joy of the sky to mix with the houses and pour down over the edge of the cliff while retaining dark shapes and mystery in the cliff itself. My father said that it looked almost Arabic but its really Perth."
