The view is looking East towards the spectacular Victoria range of the Grampians National Park, Victoria, Australia. In all landscapes, if you sit for long enough and observe you will see wildlife. This is often omitted from landscape art but they are a key feature of any living environment. In this painting there is an abundance of wildlife, only visible to the careful observer. However, the major animal element is the sheep, their movement and character depicted as though the viewer is present and noticed.
