This rich and vibrantly coloured semi-abstract painting is of the remote Palm Valley sweltering in the afternoon sun. This artwork has a bold simple banded structure when viewed from a distance but the layered detail of the valley walls, river bed, rough terrain, watercourses, ancient palms and fossils together with intensely vibrant colour patterns pull in the eye and provide a mass of small detail. There is always water here but in this painting the harsh sun hides the almost dried out and stagnant pools.

Palm Valley in Australia's Northern Territory is a rare place reached by 4 Wheel Drive from Alice Springs - it makes a good day trip. Here, apart from the stunning and secret ambience, the wandering Finke River (either a trickle or more), you will find a variety of rare and ancient plant species protected by the Valley's unique environment.
