I did this painting after picking olives one year with friends at a local grove at Darlington in the Scenic Rim. I have had a bit of fun with a few references to how famous artists have depicted harvests .. there is a little group that is straight out of a book on Van Gogh for example , but mostly it is from memory. This is the same grove that hosts the Art in the Olives Festival in May.Painting is over a metre long and about 90cm high , framed in home grown red cedar from the property. Oil on Belgian linen. (Very sturdy home made stretcher) Price $1500...
