ABOUT THE ARTWORK
2019
Watercolour
A1 - 59.4 x 84.1 cm
One of my favourite places on earth so far is The Alfred Nicholas Memorial Gardens in the Dandenong Ranges on the outskirts of Melbourne. It feels like a sacred place to me whenever I visit and I feel God's presence strongly as I become immersed in the beauty of His creation. You enter the gardens through a beautiful iron and stone gateway and soon approach the massive art-deco mansion (that begs for restoration). Not far past the mansion you come to the place featured in my watercolour painting where a magnificent shady tree rises up from a stone wall. The path eventually leads down to a serene lake with large fish, bridges and a waterfall. My artwork was created during a time of personal challenge and as I was reflecting on the painting's summery air and the feeling of hopeful anticipation it gave, I decided to give it the name 'With Summer Before Me I Walk On'. I hope that this image may bring you hope as it has for me.
This image will print best on Hahnemühle German Etching paper.
With Summer Before Me I Walk On
Most of my original artworks are available in archival quality print form and are printed using the giclée process by ACME et al in Steels Creek, Victoria. Each stage of the printing process is carefully overseen by James, the printer (with nearly three decades of industry experience), to ensure the highest quality product. These prints are made to last for decades with minimal fading and are printed on high-end, sturdy papers.
Because the prints are made on demand and printed individually rather being mass-produced, please allow between two to three weeks for processing and delivery of your order (or a little longer for customers outside of Australia).
Please note that framing is not included with print purchases.
