Gift of the artist 1995

In 1939, Paula Rosenstengel met fellow Brisbane artist Doreen Harris. Together, they explored the landscape of the Tweed Valley — Rosenstengel holidayed there as a child, and it always remained a source of inspiration for her. This painting of an abstracted landscape, which was highly innovative for its time, relies on bold watercolour and pen and ink to convey the chaotic sense of a dense tree canopy, and may have its origins in this Tweed Valley setting.
