While walking around our farm, I’ve been struck by the unique forms that old gum trees develop over time, shaped by years of exposure to Australia’s harsh elements. One tree in particular caught my eye—it had been struck by lightning many years ago. Although the tree has long since healed, it proudly displays the scars from that trauma, standing resilient and tall. In contrast, the younger, intertwined trees to its right are just beginning their journey (ahhh young love!).
"Thunder Only Happens When It’s Raining" is a vibrant Australian landscape painting that I re-created from memory in my studio. Using an Impressionistic style, the artwork focuses on how light and color interact to evoke emotion, rather than striving for precise, realistic detail. This colourful Australian landscape painting captures the resilience of the old gum tree and the dynamic energy of youth and nature, bringing to life the beauty of rural Australia. The textured brushstrokes and layers of color create a sense of movement and light, characteristic of contemporary Australian landscape art.
