Lynne Flemons ‘Time and The River’

“I am a painter inspired by natural landscapes of significant heritage value. My paintings celebrate the colours, shapes and textures of the Australian bush and the particular visual language of specific places.

I draw ‘in plein air’ using pencil, watercolour and pastels and move to acrylic paint back in the studio where I work on canvas and board. I use a combination of layering and a light touch to recreate memories through personal responses to places I have been.

Time and the River is a body of work made in response to drawings and memories from three art camps along and around the Murray River during 2023.  The mountainous region of the Upper Murray, the semi desert area of Balranald in the far west of NSW and the semi-arid country around Thule Lagoon, an ancient course of the Murray River between Deniliquin and Barham.”
