Natural Earthby Talisha KingThe painting is inspired by the forever changing landscapes of the Northern Territory. Every day I would wake and see the country in a different light. This painting is trying to recreate a desert sunset be it the desert sky or the hot sands. I tried to depict my vision for this work in a poem below: In the middle of the steamy desert day When the sun is the highest the sands will obey Forced to gleam and glisten under the heat This brilliant place where sun and earth meet These dancing sands that moved with the light Made the horizon beam as if almost alight The dunes they will flow so perfectly curved This was a sight that few had observed Story details and poem written by Talisha King, an emerging young artist supported by Central Art. |
