Wimmera Series 14 – Mitre Rock from Mt Arapiles

Description

Mitre Rock from Mt Arapiles by Suzy Strout

The wide open spaces of the Wimmera landscape inspired by the country and with reference to Nolan’s Wimmera series.
Childhood memories of clambering up Mt Arapiles and feeling the cool breeze as we peered out at the vast flatness of the Wimmera. Salt lakes shimmering in the distance and Mitre Rock beckoning us for another day.
I used oil paints lightly, to try and capture some of that late afternoon light quality.
