Beginning her studies underneath Harold Septimus Power, Cathleen Edkins is often described as one of Australia's most outstanding realist painters for her interpretation of cattle and draught horses. Edkins practiced the plein air technique, sometimes using multiple locations for her paintings. Once she had decided on a particular scene, she would travel the region and paint from different scenic components that were best suited.
