Gaylee de Bree 'YIRI II'

Gaylee de Bree 'YIRI II'Gaylee de Bree 'YIRI I' Acrylic paint, pens, & varnish on canvas 122 x 91. 5 x 4cm YIRI means Waterfall Just after our last wet season when the cyclonic weather carved scars down the mountainside of Ellis Beach. To me it was a reminder of how brutal nature could be but yet exposing the rawness of our own backyard and creating new wonderful waterfalls to explore.
