Lucy Culliton's big skies
Description
Lucy Culliton, one of Australia's most talented contemporary painters, is travelling back to her childhood farm to try to capture the wide, open Monaro plains on canvas. This documentary reveals her processes as she immerses herself in the farming community, finding ways to depict the scale of this 'droughty landscape'. The final reveal of the finished works to the owners of the land delivers a satisfying finale to an intimate journey that reveals much about both the painter and the farmers whose land she paints.
