This painting is from a series of 20 paintings I’ve called 'Disappearing Skylines'. It started one day, when I was on Teewah Beach north of Noosa, looking up at the high coastal dunes. I realised they reminded me of the rusting roofs in Brisbane’s West End where I live. I thought of the beautiful corrugated iron roofs that are disappearing, making way for high-rise towers, just as the coastal dunes are eroding. I thought then of the changing deserts, the vanishing forests and the rising oceans. In this series, I focus on the beauty of the skylines we love. They are disappearing as the climate changes and development, mining, tourism and logging ramp up. 'Galilee Basin 2’ came from a trip I did to central Queensland to look at the areas where several enormous new coal mines are proposed. The Galilee Basin is very remote - hundreds of kilometres from the nearest towns of any size - and there is not much development. Environment groups and Indigenous people have been fighting to protect the Galilee Basin and stop the climate-destabilising greenhouse gas emissions these new coal mines would bring. The Disappearing Skylines paintings show what I saw and felt when I visited these places. I thought of the beauty that was there and what may be there tomorrow. I paint in oils because I love their sensuous nature and the colours they create. This oil painting is on high-quality triple-primed stretched linen canvas. It is ready to hang or, if you prefer, it can be framed in a floating wooden frame.
