This painting is a different take on my original Tree Sunrise painting. I decided to accentuate the height of the trees towering above you and give them more of an Australian gumtree feel. This painting really gives me a sense of camping. It reminds me of that special time early in the morning when you can just see the sun coming up or going down through the walls of trees surrounding you in your campsite. I love that time of day. There are so many beautiful colours and heaps of birds either just waking up and making themselves heard or flitting around catching the little bugs for dinner in the last few minutes of sunlight.

The original “Tree Sunrise” is now hanging up at the beautiful Bottleyard apartments in Perth along with another of my “Cloud” paintings. The apartments are right next to a huge tree filled park and also have a lot of plants with in the walls of the apartment block, including the building’s community veggie gardens. I love the atmosphere in there. They put a lot of thought into every aspect, including the environment, sustainability and of course commissioning local artists.

I painted this canopy with the sunshine pouring through for an exhibition down at a winery near Margaret River called Swings and Roundabouts. I wanted to capture the essence of the area which to  me is all about nature because my husband and I spend a lot of time camping down there and walking through the bush. I love the way the sunshine makes the leaves in the canopies glow and shine like gold. Sometimes I just lie in a hammock and watch the  birds flying through the trees and the breeze blowing the branches side to side.
