Artist Capturing Australia’s Beauty in Oils — Diane Markey
William Dobell stated:
“”A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put onto canvas what is in infront of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing.”
This is a philosophy I live by in my creations. My dream is to be as famous as William Dobell one day!!!
Capturing Australia’s Nature in Original Oil Paintings
- Readers may be a little curious of who I am as an Australian artist.
- What inspires me to paint Seascapes with the occasional Landscape for diversity.
- What particular styles of painting I favour and am working to perfect.
If as a reader you would indeed like to know me just a little —
Australia to me is a nation of breath-taking beauty!!! I have travelled quite extensively and taken Oh! so many photos. Throughout my working life I often dreamt of being able to capture on canvas Australia’s unique character. Upon retirement I was determined to fulfill that dream.
Of course the realization struck me that this was going to be “easier said than done.” I have visited galleries on my travels and I knew instincively what styles I am drawn to. I always wanted to paint seascapes in oils and that is what I mainly do. I favour realism, which captures a particular scene, and transfers that scene “realistically” on to canvas. I also enjoy the power that is gained from impressionism and attempt to integrate this style in to my paintings to create depth and a sense of diversity.
