Agreed AW, such a talent, sadly died young in a car accident
I second AW , thanks Smiley .
What a lovely video to watch , with beautiful paintings accompanied by lovely music .
Most Australians know the Boyd Boys ( not so much the architect ) well and their Style is familiar .
This female Boyd was very different 2 the boys and the same as the boys ( not sex related , sort of , I think , if u get what I mean ), art wise .
Watching these pieces go by , I saw glimpse of a Streeton , a hint of another famous Albert , but a FNP , a gentle Fox and a flash of Ollie yellow all with some Boyds .
Then some Classic Boyds .
Gosh , what a Creative Australian family .
They all did Australian Light , so well .
I can pop off , now .

PopDown. The light, you’re so onto it, true in all its moods.
Somewhat saddens me to look at art of that era, a landscape so altered now by our ever increasing population and expansion into more and more ‘green space’, wondering if we will see the better part of it disappear right before our very own eyes.
Our neighbours won’t be the Jones’s, Smith’s, Singh’s, Wong’s or Chan’s, they’ll be
possums, kangaroos, wallabies, goannas, wombats, Koalas, Tiger, Brown, Red Bellied, Copperhead snakes, etc.
Transmissible animal diseases will know doubt form a part of our future healthcare., MonkeyPox, Lissavirus just to name a few.AW
Another less famous Australian landscape painter but brilliant nonetheless

Beautiful paintings Guy.
Thanks for posting that.
Hey AW
Don't be sad as some lovely Human Building is part of Our Landscape .
Look at how Whitely does the Coat Hanger or a Bronwyn Oliver Sculpture of the Opera House , sitting beautifully in the Sydney Botanical Garden .
Perhaps a Turner's Light of London ?
My favourite Artist who I collect , is Howard Taylor .
He just lived in the Bush and was Fixated on Capturing , Light !
There is no Human influence in Howards Pieces .
Lots of Suns , Moons and Trees , though .
If interested , check out the Phenomena Exhibition that was at the MCA in Sydney around 2000 .
Howards Light does not come out in photos , at all .
In real life , they ooze it , gently imho .
If U get 2 C 1 , U will know , exactly what I mean .
Most of his Big pieces are in base 6 , territory .
WA , has them , he was a Living Treasure , over there .
The ABC did a lovely doco on the old WW2 , Fighter Pilot .

GuySmiley. Hi mate. Thanks for uploading this news.
Not much to say, except, world class. The capture of light is perfect. AW
AW
May I add , I think Streeton is also great , at Using Light , 2 Capture a viewers attention ? :)
My eyes went straight 2 the sail , then were dragged left , and then allowed , to wonder around , the timeless , piece .
Thanks Smiley .

IMHO one of his best works and apparently painted in his mid 20’s while living in a tent on a nearby beach. The colour harmony, limited palette, the use of light and composition all brilliant.

Hey Smiley and Rob
I so enjoyed have a brief gentle Stroll , through Streeton's landscapes .
Being there , like :) ( Clancy Jones ) .
And Henry looks a young Legend of Art in the making , going Back 2 the Future , making Tapestries from Wetsuits and creating a Genre , 4 himself .
How Cool is that guy ( likes a bit of Wee scent , in the morning 2 ) !
Wow..
