A Facade with Mileage (11"x14")
Painted en plein air on a clear afternoon in Canowindra, 'A Facade with Mileage' captures the Old Vic Inn from a different angle—this time looking back along Gaskill Street where the road bends once more, pulling the viewer’s gaze into the distance.
Bathed in golden afternoon light, the pub’s broad verandahs and lacework details take centre stage, while cool shadows stretch across the road, revealing the distinct shapes and profiles of the town’s heritage buildings. Parked quietly in the shade is the artist’s own Series 3 ex-army Land Rover—a subtle nod to journeys past and the mileage carried in both vehicle and architecture.
With confident brushstrokes and a restrained, sun-bleached palette, this impressionist work speaks to the charm of regional towns where history and everyday life continue to coexist.
