Springbrook with lifting fog 1999 William Robinson Springbrook with lifting fog 1999 Oil on canvas 203 x 259cm The Nerissa Johnson Bequest 1999. National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Full screen What I hope to give the viewers of this painting is the feeling that they are themselves surrounded by this light, gentle fog . . . They are then looking out of this mist to the light of the sea and sky to the left and in front, to the sunlight filtering over the Tweed River to the right, and the clearing sunlit trees above and behind . . . I have tried to find ways to include the viewer in the work – to live in the vision itself. William Robinson Back to Springbrook | On to Self-portraits Print friendly version
