Afternoon Hills - Maleny
Oil on board - 30 x 30 cm (Framed size: 44.3 x 44.3 x 3.5 cm) - $3,750
The rolling hills of Maleny, in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast Hinterland, are beautifully green and picturesque. We lived there for a few years, and being an artist not generally known for very green paintings, I found the most magic time was in late afternoon when the sun was just still washing over the tops of the hills. There is a lovely luminosity, a combination of the darker valleys contrasting with the brightly sunlit tops. This is quite difficult to capture in paint, and I think this little painting goes some way to expressing that magic feeling.
