Colours of Australia by Marijke Greenway

Works on canvas, birch ply and paper - with oil, watercolour, crushed ochre, acrylic, and encaustic (beeswax).

Marijke took a Kimberley Cruise from Darwin to Broome during July 2023, which provided new inspiration, now seeing the Kimberley from the water. She was touched by the changing colours of the water and the tilted rocks, the reflections of the mangroves in that lucid water in the creeks, the waterfalls, the wildlife and the ancient art ……and her feelings became paintings.

The painted journeys cover the Red Centre, the Pilbara, Western Australia, the Kimberley, Kakadu, and the East Coast and all the colour along the way.

Marijke started doing encaustic art (melted beeswax, damar resin and oil pigment) about 10 years ago, so there are many encaustics showing the beautiful water of the Kimberley and her love of trees.
