The Australian bushscape that surrounds artist Dan Kyle’s Blue Mountains studio is a recurring subject in his paintings. It’s a world that reserves an incredibly special place in his heart. “I’m so in love with it,” he says. “There isn’t a day that goes by where it doesn’t leave me in awe.” The connection between artist and the bush is so strong that, alongside regular hikes in search of inspiration, Dan also harvests paper daisies from his property and puts them to use as painting tools in his art-making practice.
