Donkeys at Town Hall (11"x 14")
Description: Painted en plein air in Silverton, NSW, this impressionist work captures a fleeting moment of quiet resilience in the outback. Two donkeys huddle from the cold wind beneath the wide verandah of the historic stone town hall, their small, dark silhouettes standing out against the pale, desolate landscape.
Beyond them, a dusty road and a row of power lines disappear into the distance, emphasising the vast emptiness of the environment. With an economy of brushstrokes, the scene suggests more than it tells—the title itself hinting at the two-legged “donkeys” that may have gathered inside the hall.
This painting reflects the essence of plein air work: responding quickly to shifting light and atmosphere, distilling the raw character of outback NSW onto the canvas in fresh, painterly marks.
