Elaine Green
From Derby to Winnaleah
Oil on Linen
In January this year I was privileged to attend an artist’s retreat in the North-East of Tasmania, a place called Winnaleah where I worked en plein air. Although only four hours from home the colours and the features of the landscape gave the area a different feel to the west where I live. I returned home with a passion to capture that feeling. The first painting in this triptych is of the Ringarooma River near where I stayed in Derby, the second is on the way To Winnaleah, the moody sky attracted me to this scene in particular, and the last painting is of a farm in Winnaleah. I grouped these works together as I felt the three works belonged together.

About Elaine Green
Rather than ‘framing Nature’, Elaine Green’s work has always resonated the 19th century Romantic notion of elevating landscape painting to a metaphysical level. It is seen as the extension of an inner sense of being, a place where Nature and Self are fused. The difference between the observer and the observed is subsumed in a boundless luminosity. “Like all artists I am constantly seeking the light,” she reflects. “The troposphere, constantly in motion, provides never-ending inspiration and challenges to capture that light and the changing moods of the environment.”
