Private Commission

This piece was commissioned for a dad from Canberra for his son.

It tells the story of where the son lives in Canberra and where his Grandmother lives in Parkes NSW.

Canberra and Parkes are represented in the canvas by the two largest campsites on the map of Wiradjuri Country. The map also shows where Wiradjuri country also is in relation aross to the ocean and the populated costal areas over the Blue Mountains.

I loved doing this piece and I absolutely love the colours!

Note: I am taking mural and other commissions bookings to commence in from March 2023. If you are interested in a large scale or corporate commission, please go to my website at https://owenlyonsart.com/work-with-owen/ to find out more information and lodge an enquiry. Bookings do go fast, so don’t hesitate to lodge your enquiry ASAP!

Transport NSW Water Tanker Project

I was thrilled to be selected to provide artwork that now covers the RMS Water Tankers that operate in the western area.

I think they turned out so great.

The artwork tells us the story of the Hay Plains. It details its vastness as the Murrumbidgee River flows through the middle. The river is offering life and hope to the communities and large sheep stations that can only survive because of the water that runs through this dry dusty land.

These are some photos from the unveiling, in the photos I’m pictured with Uncle Roy Kennedy (Elder) and Des Smith (Transport NSW). Uncle Roy did the smoking ceremony.

COMMISSION PROJECTS: I’m now taking bookings for corporate commission projects to be completed from March 2023. Please head to my website http://www.owenlyonsart.com to lodge your enquiry. My commission spaces for next year will be very limited, so if you organisation is looking for a commission artwork for a project, please reach out ASAP.

JUNEE TENNIS CLUB

Last year I was commissioned to a mural for the Junee Tennis Club.

It was such a huge honour to be selected to complete this mural as part of the Tennis Australia “Hitting Wall” project.

The artwork on the wall honours tennis great Evonne Goolagong Crawley, and depicts images of her from a young girl first playing tennis in Barellan, to her winning Wimbledon. The mural also has imagery of the Murrumbidgee River, and the flora and fauna of the area.

The feedback I have received so far about the mural is amazing.

Note: I am taking mural and other commissions bookings to commence in March 2023.

WOOLSCOURS – Art Print

The Woolscours is a bend in the Murrumbidgee River only 250 meters from where I grew up down the lane at the bottom of the Sandhills in Narrandera.

It’s a place I go to reflects and gather my thoughts and listen to the river and nature.

This place relaxes me and takes me back to my childhood for this is a place that has more than one meaning to me.

This place is where I remember starting off on my big camping Adventure with my dad, younger brother Brad and sometimes one of my nephews.

We would load up our old horse Bobby and our sulky with our old steel boat and all our camping gear and walk with Bobby to the Woolscours and unload the boat and camping gear into the river.

Our camping trip was something I will never forget, and I will cherish for the rest of my days.

If you would like a print of Woolscours to hang in your home or office, head to my online store to order: https://wiradjuriart.myshopify.com/products/woolscours-art-print-on-canvas
