Quality Impasto Oil Painting
"Australian Outback"
By LEONARD HUGH LONG
1911-2013
By 1939, Long had become more seriously interested in Landscape study and spent more and more of his spare time painting. After returning from his civil service during the Second World War as a precision instrument maker, he sold his watch-making business to his partner and began full-time painting in 1955.
During his career, Long held many successful solo exhibitions throughout Australia and travelled extensively both within Australia and overseas. His first overseas trip was sponsored by the American millionaire John Galvin and the experience made a lasting impression on the artist. He knew and painted with many other Australian artists including Albert Namatjira. His works may be found in many private collections and is represented in many public galleries around the world.
