About The Artwork
This painting was inspired by photographs in my father's photograph albums, and by the landscape on a property owned at the time by relatives near Bothwell, in central Tasmania. The little girls are my aunt and her cousin, and I had fun painting the red dress, contrasting it against the green hillside. You can make up your own mind whether the shadowy figure in the background is watching over the children or an ominous presence. (In the photo I used for reference, he was an innocuous farmhand). I did a number of ambiguous, gothic paintings populating realistic, contemporary landscapes with figures from old family photographs.

I live in Tasmania, which is about as far away as you can get from everywhere else, and spend as much time as possible in the wilderness - primeval forests are good for the soul. Landscape here is old and weathered and rugged with plenty of rocky mountains and mysterious valleys. Both the scenery and history get described as gothic quite regularly, so that's what I paint. Tasmanian Gothic.
