Modern impressionism painting from Life. Influences include Van Gogh and Australian, Max Meldrum. Ray's approach is to be 'painterly'. Brushwork is evident and its tonality is a result of many years painting. Simplicity is not easily attained. Ray's dedication to keeping it simple and deft use of colour and light exquisitely captures the simple arrangements of our everyday lives.
The artwork would lift a lounge area, or study.
