110 | Forest beacon | Peter Yates | $1650 | Oil on wood

This painting was created in the foothills of Kunanyi, on the traditional lands of the Muwinina and Palawa Peoples. Here, tree ferns are beacons of light on cloudy days. It is a privilege to spend time painting en plein air in this beautiful forest, where I feel my experiences of awe and affection making their way into each brushstroke.
