Shimmer In The Sun

Shimmer In The Sun captures the fleeting light of an Australian creek as sunlight filters through trees and dances across the water. Painted in a deliberate pixelated style, small blocks of colour build a vibrant impression of foliage, reflections and moving water rather than a literal landscape.

Originally created as a sketch for a larger painting, this work quickly developed a character of its own. The energetic brushstrokes and fresh colour palette give it a spontaneity that allows it to stand confidently as an individual piece.

Bright blues, greens and soft pastel tones contrast with darker shadows, creating a sense of depth and the gentle shimmer of light reflected through the bush. The result is a lively, atmospheric painting that celebrates the beauty of an everyday Australian landscape.
