Capturing the most enjoyable elements of Cataract Gorge—nestled in the heart of Launceston - I am drawn to the peacocks that roam freely everywhere, inspired by their beauty, I painted a majestic peacock perched upon the rocks, gazing down the river. Behind it stands the iconic bridge, a familiar sight to many as they walk the track. This painting serves as a reminder of the many memories I've made in this beautiful place. I was inspired by the peace and calm the gorge brings - I spent Christmas there with Terry back in 2024, we spent time swimming and sunbathing beneath the bridge, and soon after - I knew I had to paint it. It’s a haven for both locals and visitors, known as a serene escape where people come to swim and enjoy nature's beauty, whether in the pool or the gorge itself. This painting is a tribute to the cherished experiences and tranquil essence of this iconic Tasmanian location.
