CONTEMPORARY FIGURATIVE PAINTINGS by
RICHARD BAXTER

This painting was inspired one morning whilst pruning grape vines in the Barsossa Valley. It was morning break, a glorious morning where the sky seemed to stretch forever. One young man began to spontaneously dance on the road to the music coming from his car. The scene was so inspired and joyous, it burned into my memory. Hillsides have always inspired me, with the alluring mystery of what may lie over the other side. Of course he wasn't wearing a dress at the time or dancing with a vacuum cleaner. But cleaning can be a joyous time too.
