The Emerald Carpet

“The Emerald Carpet” (Tarkine Tasmania) Original Oil on Stretched Canvas 91cm x 61cm

Robyn’s inspiration: “It was magical to spend a few weeks painting the lush carpet of velvety green of the Tarkine forest in Tasmania. I am still appalled by the fact that clear felling and burning is still happening in old growth forests within Australia. From this to blackened charcoal with no life left in it. I will never understand how this is allowed to happen.

The Tarkine is an extraordinary place of natural beauty within Tasmania. The Tarkine includes a vast area of cool-temperate rainforest which includes species that evolved from when continents were joined together as Gondwana. You’ll be amazed at the peaceful rainforests and the history of the area which includes a large number of historic Aboriginal sites. The Tarkine also has a history of mining, with rich resources including gold and tin throughout the area. Many historical mine licences allowed sifting of gravels from river beds and were not large mines, however modern-day Tasmania has the open cut Savage River Iron Ore Mine at the edge of what is considered the Tarkine Region.”
