Peace
Acrylic on canvas
We all need to find a quiet place to be absorbed by nature, away from people, away from drama, away from technology. Only then can you find peace and feel a sense of true belonging.
This picture was inspired by a visit to Horseshoe falls in Tasmania. I was so struck by the beauty and serenity here that it seemed time slowed. Despite the sound of the waterfall there was a sense of stillness around me and in that moment I felt truly at peace.
The use of a limited palette, the filtered light and the shadows wrap you like a blanket and lead your eye to focal point of the picture.
Size: 52 × 42 cm

About Paul Hendley
If anyone asked me how much my first pay cheque was that made me give up on my dream of a career in art I’d be embarrassed to answer. Fortunately, after many years of wage slavery, I now have the time to indulge my passion and explore the possibilities of what I can achieve. As a self-taught artist with minimal painting experience every piece of work I create is an experiment. As with all artists I try to ignore the ‘happy accidents’ as I take this voyage of discovery to see what’s over the next horizon.
