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.

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.

According to Australian gallery standards, artwork should be hung so the centre of the piece sits approximately 155 cm from the floor. 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.

It is fitted with professional D-hooks and wire for immediate hanging. Alternate custom framing can be arranged upon request.
