Description

Darebin Creek flows through its wetlands at Alphington on its way to the Yarra/Birrarung River north-east of Melbourne, Victoria. In this early morning view, I tried to capture a contre-jour effect where the sun is almost directly ahead of the viewer. At the same time, deep shadows cast by the tall trees on either bank, increase the depth of contrast in the painting. This is a favourite haunt of mine, whether on foot or bicycle. The stream is permanent and flows beneath cliffs, through rocky gorges, over shallow stone beds and past sandy beaches. All the while in a forested area surrounded by suburbia.
