Mates Painting

Cary McAulay Luckily born in Mamu Country (Innisfail), North Queensland, Australia. I have otherwise known as "Gus" and have been painting professionally since 1980. In my paintings of Australia, I endeavour to express my interpretation of this land and its people, utilizing both my digital camera and the vivid dreams that I have every night. My Studio is a "˜Bush' studio near Blackbutt Qld and enjoy creating my paintings close to nature. I also "˜Plein Air' paint, which is a great way to "˜feel' your subject. I currently exhibit and sell my work with Manly Gallery - Brisbane and Scattered Arts Gallery - Brisbane. I also teach art at Scattered Arts at Camp Hill and at Raff's Ranch Art Studio in Kingaroy. "No Matter who you are today....if you call yourself an artist - you are at all times standing on the shoulders of the giants that walked the earth before you.... even Rubens, Giotto, Dali, Homer, Monet and yes even Picasso, also stood upon the shoulders of giants!"....originality? that's when you manage to climb up over the ears and onto that shiny bald head and while slipping around to get a better footing, you realize that it is all about belief in yourself!! heh heh I only get there in my dreams ! that's because in them - I CAN FLY!"
