Everything about it is beautiful. \u00a0The buildings, the people, the Fiakers and best of all: the cakes! In this painting I tried to capture the late afternoon light on those wonderful facades. Not an easy task given\u00a0the complexity of the buildings, combined with the horses, which are the most difficult subject on the planet! I think\u00a0this one worked well.

I guess it is due to hygiene reasons. This is another study and it&#8217;s quite unfinished, which I think is its special quality.

It reminded me of the Royal Eagle I painted for the last exhibition I had at Red Hill Gallery. I know one of the figures\u00a0is a Greek travelling God and another is Hercules, I forget the third. It was the fourth of July on that day and there were many police around. I was watched over by a large policeman while I worked on this site and I felt very safe indeed! I particularly like this piece and its unfinished state. There is a certain quality that I like in work like this, which doesn&#8217;t exist\u00a0in highly finished pieces.&#8221;<br \/>\n<em>Joseph Zbukvic<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/JZ111.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2997\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/JZ111.jpg\" alt=\"Joseph Zbukvic\" width=\"760\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/JZ111.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/JZ111-300x148.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a>THE BACK GATE<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8220;Another quintessential Australian scene. Despite my world wide travels I still love Australian landscape and find endless subjects everywhere. This was painted near Melbourne and\u00a0it&#8217;s the type of subject I like, where there is not really\u00a0anything significant and yet it makes a wonderful composition. A lot of people would drive past this scene and never see anything in it and yet I think it makes a lovely subject because of its simplicity. It makes you think and look again at something you thought you didn&#8217;t see but know it&#8217;s there.&#8221;<br \/>\n<em><em>Joseph Zbukvic<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/JZ14.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2999\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/JZ14.jpg\" alt=\"Joseph Zbukvic\" width=\"760\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/JZ14.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.artchat.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/JZ14-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><strong>\u2018BACK FROM FISHING\u2019<br \/>\n<\/strong>&#8220;I used to do lots of seascapes, not so many nowadays.

In the end\u00a0there is not much else there really. The interaction between the figures is the very subject itself.
