John Kemp
The Dump
Acrylic on canvas
While taking the long way home in my van after my final season in The Kimberley, I stayed at various campsites, including the one at Wooramel Station.
I have a fondness for the patina of discarded and aged objects in the bush, so was fascinated by the light of the setting sun on the timbers of this wagon.

About John Kemp
John Kemp was born in Sydney, where he won the Southern Cross Art Exhibition (under 18s) and lived there until the age of 12 when his family moved to the Sunshine Coast.
Working as a tour guide from Tasmania and Kangaroo Island to The Kimberley, Arnhem Land and New Zealand, fired his passion for landscapes. He painted on days-off and sold to tourists and colleagues.
Some difficult personal circumstances stopped him painting for many years. Now, heading for retirement, John has returned to his art.
Acrylics are his preferred medium, having previously worked in oils, pottery and fibreglass, using air-brush.
