Morning Rays

Down amongst the tussocky grasses beneath the paperbark trees, the soft purple of Brisbane’s ethereal early morning light is transformed with the ever-strong sun beams. The painting reflects on the creeks and waterways around this area, though largely hidden beneath concrete and tarmac, that are part of our critical water catchment system.
