One of a Kind, hand-painted original

This is a unique art piece with no duplications—each brushstroke is an authentic, unrepeatable moment.

A One-Off Original Pastel Painting

"Surveying the Scene" is a quintessential and commanding example of Pat Chaffey’s connection to the rugged beauty of the Australian high country. This original work invites the viewer into a classic bush landscape, masterfully contrasting shadow and brilliant light to capture the silent drama of the paddock.

The eye is immediately drawn to the monumental, gnarled gum tree that anchors the composition, its dark, textured trunk and exposed roots dominating the foreground. Chaffey’s skill with pastel and oil pastel shines here, rendering the deep, cool shadows and rich, red earth with extraordinary tactile depth.

Beyond the shade, a sun-drenched, luminous green field unfolds, dotted with grazing sheep—a timeless image of Australian pastoral life. The narrative is completed by the small, native animal—the namesake 'surveyor'—standing sentinel on a knoll, bathed in a final, warm shaft of light. This evocative piece is a celebration of the unique atmosphere, light, and resilient life of the Australian landscape.

As an award-winning work, this is a one-off original painting, guaranteed to become a valuable and treasured feature in your collection.
