Saturation
Oil on canvas 76cm x 101cm $4500
This image was captured on the cliff tops above King George Falls and is my Signature painting of The Kimberley’s. It appears on all of my promotions. The inspiration is the juxtaposition of hazy recession against the well defined foreground rock formation plus the naturally occurring colour contrast.
the artist
don talintyre I was born in Sydney and raised in the St George District with one older brother. After raising my own family of four children in the Sutherland Shire I lived in the Southern Highlands for several years and now live in Appin NSW. I began pencil drawing at 6 and discovered a love for creating my own artwork. Following schooling to Intermediate Certificate level I was apprenticed at age 15 to a leading signwriting firm. I have had a paint brush in my hand most days of my life ever since. ​ As for recreational art, I began painting local scenes around Sydney in the 1970’s as my children grew older and time away from my business allowed. I worked in all mediums and all types of subject matter to broaden my skills and experiment with style. I attended short art courses, including in Millthorpe NSW where I acquired a real taste for landscape painting. However, real improvement did not occur until a friend showed me the Meldrum method of tonal realism and the indisputable value of working from life. I am a Life Member of the Bowral District Art Society, a Fellow of the Royal Art Society of NSW and an Exhibiting Member of The Australian Society of Marine Artists. I exhibit with these and other art societies on a regular basis and enter numerous art competitions every year.
