Journey then and now Covid and its impact on galleries and artists has given me the luxury to experiment with my art works. 2019 was a hard year. Being traditionally a watercolourist, I have used this opportunity to work with Ochres I have had the privilege to accumulate whilst working in the Kimberley. Combining them with watercolour techniques, acrylic and watercolour itself has given me a wide choice of techniques to use The painting Breakdown emphasises the importance of being prepared if one is wandering in the outback. Although sensationally beautiful with surreal juxtaposition of intense colour, it is a harsh landscape to live and to paint in. This painting aims to reinforce this aspect, High Falls demonstrates where I have journeyed from. Simon Hemsley 2021
