The landscape is the semi-arid country in north-western NSW. It was traditional pastoral country. It's land degradation has been caused by overstocking and a failure to adopt sustainable land management.
The landscape painting works in the pictureseque mode, which is a blend of the beautiful and the sublime. It is midway between them, a reduced, gentler, less exalted form of both.
