Peter McIntyre

What’s so important or interesting about some rocks in the desert? For Peter McIntyre these rocks weren’t just inanimate objects. Outback Australia is all about experiencing the vast emptiness of the desert and for him the experience was a powerful one. Of another painting similar to this one he wrote, “Out from Alice Springs in the heart of Australia we drove into the desert, into a vista of reds, ochres, and blacks-without-end, where the very hills were worn smooth and round, crouching like animals in the brooding silence”.
