Landscape painting Fragility and Complexity: High Country Near Round Mountain offers a contemplative view into the Australian high country, focusing on the intricate details often overlooked. The composition highlights the delicate patterns of alpine grasses, the subtle curves of fallen leaves, and the gnarled forms of branches that punctuate the landscape.
 
Executed in oil and wax on canvas, the artist employs a layering technique that allows for the gradual build-up of texture and depth. The subdued color palette of ochres, greens, and greys reflects the natural hues of the high country, evoking a sense of quiet contemplation.
 
The work invites the viewer to observe the often-overlooked details of the alpine environment—where decay and renewal coexist in a delicate balance. Each element within the piece is thoughtfully rendered, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the resilience and beauty found in the natural world.
