When I painted this, I wanted to bottle up the exact feeling of a magical camping stopover I had out west. If you know my work from the Megalong Valley—which feels enclosed, dramatic, with steep escarpments—the Capertree Valley (located on the western edge of the Blue Mountains region) is a completely different world. Famous as one of the widest canyon systems anywhere, Capertree isn't about tight spaces; it’s about massive, breathing horizons and endless sky.
Even though I called this piece "Alone", it’s a celebration of happy, restorative solitude rather than loneliness. I painted it on a brilliant, bright sunny day when the light made everything feel golden, crisp, and alive. The single peak stands proud, wrapped in a quiet, rural calmness with its classic farm fencing framing the flat valley floor below.
It’s a bright, cheerful piece that I hope brings the warm, expansive breath of the western bush right into your living space.
