Notice the thick paint in this large landscape.
Nicholas Harding has applied thick strokes of oil paint with a palette knife to create a lush, green scene of trees, ferns, rocks and water. The palms and ferns fill the canvas so we can only see glimpses of the sky behind the dense bush and a waterfall to the left. The scale of the painting makes us feel like we are in the bush. What sounds do you think you would hear?
Nicholas has hidden little dragonflies in the painting. How many can you spot?
