For Annabel Butler the impact of the pandemic, with lockdowns, online teaching and home schooling led her to rediscover her love of plein air painting. With her studio confined to the boot of her car Annabel Butler's art practice finds itself on the road and unusually mobile. Butler travels around, stopping occasionally to capture her new surroundings. Painting plein air she captured a variety of public places such as parks and beaches that she visits frequently within Sydney. The result was this series of small yet lively 9 x 5 cm paintings.
