Passage, Wiggley's Waterhole, Alice Springs, 2024, oil on board, 30 x 60 cm
This plein air painting of Wiggley’s Waterhole, just north of Alice Springs in Central Australia, captures the stillness and calm of a serene outback morning. I created it on location under a cloudless sky. The artwork captures a peaceful atmosphere, just days after a powerful flood swept through the area. The painting highlights the contrast in the colours of the rock formations and the reflections in the gently moving water. The viewer is drawn across the foreground and towards the bush in the distance. A soothing, contemplative piece that offers a fresh perspective on the Australian desert landscape.
Medium: Oil paint on a professional artist-quality plywood panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak and ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: Wiggley’s Waterhole, Alice Spriings, Central Australia
Genre: Contemporary Australian Landscape Art, Plein Air Landscape Painting
Style: Plein air landscape paintings are created outdoors, capturing natural light and the changing atmosphere. This technique results in expressive, dynamic brushwork that conveys spontaneity and a strong connection to nature, reflecting the artist’s direct experience of the landscape.
Subject: Waterhole and gorge in the outback of Australia
Colour Scheme: Cobalt, Indigo and Ultramarine blue, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Australian leaf Green
Features: A medium-sized plein air artwork painted in oil, with distinct brush strokes that capture the energy and spirit of this outback location. This contemporary Australian landscape painting is typical of the plein air technique; the markmaking is gestural and expressive, suggesting rocky forms, deep shadows, and reflections. The rich, warm colours evoke the heat and grandeur of the Central Australian desert.

How to Hang Your Painting: This framed, medium-sized plein air landscape painting of the Australian outback is easy to install and ideal for display above furniture or on a feature wall such as an entryway. Best suited to a well-lit space in either modern or traditional interiors, good lighting enhances the full depth and vibrancy of the colour palette.

Adjustments can be made based on ceiling height, surrounding furniture, and whether the space is used for sitting (like a dining room) or standing (like a hallway). To preserve its condition, avoid placing oil paintings in direct sunlight, as UV exposure may cause fading or discolouration.
