This series of paintings was created en plein air at The Acres, a working flower farm in Camp Mountain, northwest of Brisbane, during my 2023–24 residency. I spent two to three days each week drawing and painting directly from the landscape, capturing the changing light, textures, and rhythms of the farm. The evolving seasons, weather, and farm structures—fences, flower beds, and posts—offered endless inspiration and compositional elements.
Each painting is executed in acrylic on a 40x40x4cm cradled ply panel, finished with three coats of gloss medium to enhance colour depth and layers. A hand-applied beeswax polish softens the sheen to a gentle satin. All works are presented in hand-sanded and waxed Meranti tray/float frames, with a finished framed size of 42×42x7cm

Fence Posts and Star Pickets is part of my plein air residency series at The Acres, a flower farm in Camp Mountain, northwest of Brisbane. Painted directly in the fields, this work explores the markers in the landscape—fence posts, stakes, and structural lines—which provide rhythm and visual structure. The composition captures the changing light, the textures of earth and timber, and the subtle shifts in the farm environment throughout the seasons.
