Dappled Bush Light, Eltham is a small acrylic landscape from a series based on bushwalks in Eltham with the artist’s daughter and young grandchildren. Rather than presenting the bush as a neat scenic view, the painting focuses on the fragmented experience of moving through trees, filtered light, bark, undergrowth and shifting colour. Loose marks and layered passages of green, grey, mauve, black and pale blue create a sense of flickering light and dense bushland atmosphere. The work captures the intimacy of a remembered walk, where forms appear and disappear through trunks, shadows and scrub.
Acrylic on stretched canvas. Ready to hang with wire across the back.
Artist Bio: Linda Schneider is a Victorian-based artist whose practice centres on the human figure. Working across acrylic and oil painting, as well as layered charcoal and ink drawings, her process is deliberately iterative, allowing earlier decisions to remain visible within the surface of the work.
Her figures are built through repeated drawing, sanding, erasure, and repainting, creating images that hold a sense of accumulation and quiet tension rather than a fixed or polished finish. Schneider is interested in how restraint, revision, and time shape an image, and how the body can be used as a site for both observation and inward reflection.
Her work has been recognised in major Australian prizes, including being a finalist in the Dobell Drawing Prize.
