Geikie Place, Fitzroy Crossing — The Road and the Evening Sky
I've recently returned to this scene in Fitzroy Crossing, in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
The original painting was done on ordinary notepad paper, which made working in watercolour difficult and the result rather imprecise.
This time I used Baohong watercolour paper and raised the horizon line, giving the road a stronger presence.
But the sky remains an umbrella over the whole landscape.
What interested me most was the colour — the warm ochres and oranges of the ground, the greens and blues of the trees, and the bands of evening cloud stretching across the sky.
