This captivating artwork, created using the medium of oil on linen on a sturdy wood panel, showcases a remarkable dimension of 60 x 90cms. Every brushstroke in this piece was deeply inspired by my frequent idyllic walks along the serene Wollondilly River. In this composition, two young girls joyfully immerse themselves in a muddy pond, their innocent laughter filling the air. However, their proximity to a far more pristine realm is strikingly visible just a few steps away. Acting as a enigmatic bridge between these two contrasting worlds, a vigilant Doberman stands guard at the entrance, perhaps representing the ever-present influence of ego. This thought-provoking piece has been varnished meticulously, expertly framed, and is ready to be effortlessly hung in any space that seeks to embrace its mesmerizing allure.
