I am back! I’ve touched down on Australian soil after four years of living in Malaysia. To make it even more special, I am spending time at the place where it all began, the property were I grew up. Yes! Soaking up the Australian Summer, breathing in warm sweet blue sky and crunching dry bark under my feet. Surrounded by the familiar sounds of the many birds.

In the mornings I’m greeted by the kangaroos, in the afternoons I spot a koala in the gum tree, and the stumpy tail lizards remind me of times long ago. This is surreal, a stark contrast to the enveloping humidity of Kuala Lumpur. The spaciousness opens my heart and I feel so fortunate to have experienced such wildly different landscapes.

A perfect time to paint, outdoors, or in the subtle breeze of the late evening.

Here is a sneak peak of a few works that will appear in my stockroom in the next few weeks at https://www.karibienert.com
