Springwood artist Tobin O'Bree is hosting the From Dusk till Dawn exhibition at Braemar House and Gallery, Springwood, until September 27.
O'Bree's works explore landscapes at different times of the day, through a series of watercolour and acrylic pieces inspired by his travels and three of his past generations.
He draws on all aspects of Earth's natural beauty.
"Whether carpets of wild flowers, pebble riverbeds, verdant mountains, foaming lace waves, soaring cloud banks or bejewelled night skies; all elements evoke a sense of self placing the viewer in the realm of natural beauty where sea, sand, earth and sky meet," he said.
As well as a commissioned artist, O'Bree also serves as a facilitator of art relaxation therapy sessions for corporate and community programs.
He said: "My driving passion is to inspire joy through art and encourage future generations to take up art as a form of creative expression."
His latest exhibition is a tribute to his great grandfather, Frank Mahony, a prominent federation era artist and founding member of the original 'Dusk 'til Dawn Club' alongside Henry Lawson, J F Archibald and Norman Lindsay.
"The 'Duskers' were a group of Bohemian artists, poets and journalists who met in pubs around Sydney to 'advance the arts'," O'Bree said.
"Mahony was a famous painter of horses, political cartoonist for the Bulletin and book illustrator, including Henry Lawson's first book, While the Billy Boils, and Edith Pedley's Dot and the Kangaroo."
The exhibition is at Braemar House & Gallery, 104 Macquarie Road, Springwood. It is open 10am-4pm, Thursday to Sunday. Free admission.
