I am drawn to painting landscapes as they move with the weather and change with the light. Every sky is different, and I enjoy capturing the mood and depth of the subject. In the words of English-born Canadian painter and printmaker Walter J. Phillips: “A landscape painting is essentially emotional in origin. It exists as a record of an effect in nature whose splendour has moved a human heart, and according as it is well or ill done it moves the hearts of others.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ee8b436612fb28e1765d3c/1626264170629-Q7FTPIB41SHKJ145R958/_I9A5893.JPG Home - Coastal Inspiration I have been fortunate to live in the Illawarra area of the NSW South Coast for over 30 years, and I have depicted the region in many of my landscapes. I often start my work as plein-air painting and refine and finalise the landscape in my studio. I use a variety of mediums, including water-based acrylics, but mainly focus on oil paints. I use various tools, including palette knives and brushes of varying sizes, https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ee8b436612fb28e1765d3c/1626274048714-G6YOWWISPGBXOS52T41K/_I9A5921.JPG Home - Exhibitions I enjoy exhibiting my work to connect with the community and engage with the audience. I value feedback from art enthusiasts to grow and refine my artistic skills and listen to observations and interpretations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847763854-OGJIPZXLM6WQ3QJW4MYL/image-asset.jpeg Home - Architectural Background I am an Associate and the Design Manager of a small architectural firm focusing primarily on commercial developments. Early in my career, I learnt to draw detailed perspectives, and these skills have expanded and provided a strong foundation for my art practice. https://www.scottmillicanart.com/gallery daily 0.75

Hacking Estuary and spent most of my childhood on and around the river. The landscape of Eastern Australia inspires me, but my connection is to the Illawarra and Shoalhaven coastlines. I love seeing the changes in the landscape - such as the regeneration of the bush after a fire. I paint impressionistically focusing on the light in its changing qualities. My greatest compliments are from people who have had an emotional connection to something that I've painted, such as "I loved walking on that beach" or "I love how you've captured the light". The enthusiasm of my art audience encourages me, and people who purchase my work allow me to continue on my creative journey. My main artistic influences come from Ben Quilty, John Bokor, Tim Allan, Arthur Boyd, Paul Ryan, and Richard and Adam Bogusz father and son artists) and of course, a host of nationally and locally talented people.
