Australia, with its humble people has produced many world class painters which the world look up to. A great number of notable painting from Australia relates to nature, thanks to its diverse range of habitats from alpine heaths to tropical rainforests, and is recognised as a megadiverse country.
We listed 23 of the most famous paintings from Australian artists which I personally enjoyed because of its laid back and country feel.

Spring Frost is an 1919 painting by the Australian artist Elioth Gruner. The painting depicts a small herd of dairy cows in the early morning. Gruner's most well-known painting, Spring Frost was awarded the Wynne Prize in 1919.
