I recently visited the Arctowski Station in the Antarctic. Of the two beautiful shrines on the prominent headland the smaller one which had been carved from whale bone and wood struck me as quite beautiful. I have drawn it in pastels with Penguin amongst whale bone at its base. The station itself is in the background framed by dark cliffs. A beautiful place.
The drawing is 750mm x 500mm and is worth $500.00.
Bob McRae is a professional artist and teacher, who has been teaching for nearly 30 years at West Wollongong TAFE, NSW and works in a variety of mediums.
Blending a unique vision of Australian natural history with Australian armed conflict history, Bob McRae paints the Australia that is and evokes the Australia that was. Living on the South Coast of NSW surrounded by the tranquil seascapes and the lush subtropical escarpment that this area of Australia has to offer, Bob works in his studio and produces works of exceptional quality and insight.
With preparation derived from his many visits to the far flung reaches of Australia and with an insatiable appetite to view all of his country’s strange and beautiful flora and fauna, Bob fuses natural history with war history to create images that are evocative, wistful and poignant. Bob was commissioned in 2008 as a Naval appointed War artist, the first since the Second World War touring Iraq and Kuwait. More photos, and paintings for sale on Bob's website
