“Long Light at Lake Samsonvale” captures the lingering warmth of evening as colour settles gently across the landscape of Lake Samsonvale. Layers of luminous pink sweep across the horizon, echoing the soft glow of fading light, while deep teal and earthy greens anchor the composition in the quiet presence of land and water.
Expressive contour lines trace the natural folds of the terrain, suggesting ridgelines, shifting light, and the subtle meeting of lake and shore. Rich texture and intuitive mark-making bring a sense of movement to the surface, as though the landscape is still holding the warmth of the day.
Both vibrant and contemplative, this piece reflects a fleeting moment when the land feels deeply alive - familiar yet transformed by colour and memory. Created as part of an ongoing exploration of translating place through abstraction, it invites a personal connection to atmosphere, light, and the emotional resonance of landscape.
