Coming from a childhood family strongly connected to the land, gardening, sport and fishing; rain gauges, barometers, sky gazing and weather watching are second nature to Di Broomhall. She eats her meals outside in her eucalyptus garden taking note of the weather, the light and the atmosphere.
This diary of the weather in her eucalyptus garden spans a period of 12 months from March 2023 to March 2024. The pages were set up to indicate the same place, palette, scale and proportion. Indicators of change and stability with 3 vertical lines and 3 horizontal lines against which to work were always drawn in before painting. Stable elements such as the sky, sun, tree trunks and ground were, for the most part, located in the same spot in each diary entry. With these control elements in place a diary entry was made more or less weekly, sometimes more often if there was a particularly special weather event.
Colour, light, atmosphere and sensation were prioritised in this diary.
Pages from a Diary of a Weatherwatcher will open alongside Soft Edges by Shan Crosbie, Michele Grimston, Ann McMahon, and Heidi Smith, Inside Out by Manuel Pfieffer, and In.Plane.Site. by Dörte Conroy.
