Peta Hinton
SECOND PRIZE - $3,000 NON-ACQUISITIVESeepAcrylic on Paper, Mounted on Scroll: Calico, Paper, Wood 103 x 91cmThis painting was inspired by a sandstone overhang in the Gully behind my house. It has been shaped by the ebb and flow of ground water that seeps from the rocks, ranging from a few drops to a waterfall. It is a cool, dark, damp, mysterious place that captures the imagination.
