Chris Langlois Ocean and Earth Olsen Annexe | 1 November — 18 November
So I have moved a little further north, and until my studio is built I’m trying to paint out of a garden shed in the backyard of the house and it’s tiny. I’m wedged in-between lawnmowers, a wheelbarrow, and a dog pleading with me to put her bed in the middle of the floor. Comfort queen! There was no way I was going to paint this exhibition in this shed, so got to thinking that it would be better to jump in the car to explore and paint my new surrounds.
And so that’s what I did.
The drive in the car revealed an extraordinary variety of landscapes within an hour’s drive. I painted up in the rolling, bleached landscapes of the Dorrigo plateau, which is part of the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales. An open landscape dotted with grand old gum trees, so vastly different to the lush Kalang and Bellinger valleys below that you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d have been driving for hours to get there. One day I worked alongside a cranky old bull that grumbled a lot but otherwise tolerated me. I attempted to paint the green landscapes around the Kalang (I must buy more green paint). Then journeyed out to the ocean along beaches and headlands, working alongside intrigued beachgoers while painting the saturated colours of sky and water. Talk about spoilt for choice.
These are the paintings from that journey.
