Autumn II, after Chaminade, 2024, oil on board, 22 x 30 cm

$1,200.00

This contemporary Australian landscape painting interprets the piano composition Automne by Cécile Chaminade. Chaminade’s piece begins with a slow, gentle tempo, transporting the listener into a world of cool Autumn skies—the season of rest and restoration.

Autumn is a time of harvest, when small animals retreat, trees shed to survive, and nature prepares for the harshness of Winter. This painting evokes the transitional mood of Automne’s beginning and final sections, with atmospheric clouds drifting above a horizon of bare trees and dry paddocks.

  • Musical Composition that prompted the Painting: Automne by Cécile Chaminade

  • Genre: Contemporary Australian Landscape Painting, Alla Prima Landscape

  • Style: While this landscape painting adopts a realistic style, it is deeply infused with spiritual and emotive meaning, aligning it with the Romantic tradition of landscape art. Created using the alla prima technique — painting directly in a single sitting — it was completed wet-on-wet to preserve the spontaneity and immediacy of each brushstroke. The work was painted in response to Automne by Cécile Chaminade, allowing the music to guide the emotional tone and compositional rhythm of the piece.

  • Subject: Dramatic clouds over bare Autumn trees

  • Colour Scheme: Indigo blue, burnt sienna, Yellow ochre, Umber, Grey and Black

  • Features: The moody sky and bare branches in this original oil painting capture the approaching chill of Winter. The dry paddocks guide the viewer’s gaze into the landscape, while the delicate network of twigs and branches draws the eye inward and upward, inviting quiet reflection and a sense of seasonal stillness.
