JUDE SCOTT
contemporary realist
I have a deep love of the natural world and this
sense of connection forms the my source of inspiration.
The vast horizons and wide open spaces of the
Australian outback, the unique clarity of our light drenched
landscapes uncluttered by any signs of industry.
The faces I am drawn to are not unlike
a landscape for me, as they too
are shaped by time, lifestyle and ethnicity.
I am fascinated by the subtle nuances of a young child's face
compared to a mature adult and every
face tells a story, mapping out and unfolding as I put brush to paper.
Nature decorates our daily lives with a
dazzling array of flowers in every shape, size and colour imaginable.
These subjects are a joy to explore
and paint and I hope the veiwer engages
and connects with my vision of the natural world.
