Gentleness, Goolmanger Creek

Gentlenes, is a tranquil piece from the On the Road to Nimbin series, inspired by journeys through the lush hinterlands of the Northern Rivers, NSW. This evocative landscape captures a quiet, intimate moment where a small creek emerges from the rolling hills, winding its way through the countryside.

Sunlight dances across the undulating terrain, casting golden highlights on the slopes and accentuating the patchwork of scattered trees. The gentle creek, nestled in the foreground, mirrors a cluster of nearby trees, adding a soft sense of symmetry and reflection to the composition. Above, a deep blue sky stretches wide, brushed with wisps of thin, white cloud—an open canopy over this serene rural scene.

Imbued with a sense of calm, this painting invites the viewer to pause and follow the road less travelled—to feel the stillness, the space, and the quietness of the Northern Rivers.

Perfect for lovers of Australian landscapes and collectors of atmospheric, narrative-rich art.
