Lake Mulwala pop art Love and Light

Love and Light

This is a print of an original painting by Jenny Ellis-Newman of a small girl and her dog walking in the forest

We have many making their home in our garden and it a joy to watch them flitter amongst the trees and bushes

Lake Mulwala pop art Love and LightLake Mulwala on the NSW Victorian border offers a captivating view which I have long wanted to paint. The partially submerged dead trees rise from the glassy surface of the man made lake, instilling a a serene and moody atmosphere. On a recent trip to Yarrawonga, I took a number of photographs of the scene and used these as the basis for this painting. I used a minimalist approach in rendering the scene and a minimalist palette.
