Glowing Cliffs, Glen Davis, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 54 cm

$1,450.00

Glowing Cliffs captures the escarpments of Glen Davis in the late afternoon light, where shifting shadows and saturated colour transform the sandstone cliffs. Painted en plein air, the work was executed rapidly and directly in response to the changing atmosphere and fleeting qualities of the landscape.

Broad, expressive brushwork and tonal variation evoke the rhythm and structure of the mountains while retaining a sense of immediacy and movement. The painting reflects an engagement with light, place, and the physical experience of painting within the landscape.

Medium: Oil on panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak
Location: Glen Davis, Capertee Valley, NSW
Subject: Sandstone escarpment in evening light
Palette: Pink, Orange, Blue, Grey-Green, Violet

How to Hang Your Painting:
This framed, medium-sized plein air landscape painting of the Australian Central Tablelands is easy to install and ideal for display above furniture or in an intimate domestic interior. Best suited to a well-lit space in either modern or traditional interiors, as 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.

Framing Details:
This original plein air oil painting is currently framed in Tasmanian Oak, consistent with how contemporary artworks are often presented in galleries and private collections. It is fitted with professional D-hooks and wire for immediate hanging. Alternate custom framing can be arranged upon request.
