I found an old photograph in my art folder. I thought I would attempt to paint it. I added salt to the foliage for texture. An enjoyable challenge painting a new subject.

The area, close to the sea, is in drought yet the few cattle seem to find a place to graze. I was drawn to capture the golden wheat-colour of the rolling hills and the unique golden gumtrees sheltering the cattle. A small but meaningful sketch.

I painted this to commemorate an amazing mentor. - my college philosophy professor. This is actually Nietzsche, someone he deeply admired. Since I admired my professor, it seemed fitting to paint this in his memory. He passed away after I graduated, but his impact on my college education stayed with me forever.
