Droving into the light

Droving into the light is a 1921 painting by Australian artist Hans Heysen. The painting depicts a drover on horseback moving sheep along a road, although the main focus is the light falling on the eucalyptus trees, especially a large river red gum ("Eucalyptus camaldulensis") right of centre. It is part of the collection of the Art Gallery of Western Australia in Perth.
The painting has been described as "Heysen’s most successful use of light in all his eucalypt paintings in oil" and "one of Australia’s greatest Federation pictures". 
The painting, while apparently natural, was extensively reworked by Heysen.
