Desert Greening, Namatjira Country, 2024, oil on board, framed diptych 30 x 80 cm
This landscape painting was made looking towards the ranges behind Ellery Creek Big Hole in part of the Namatjira Division of the Northern Territory. It is a plein air artwork made when the afternoon light caused the red-orange rocks to cast grey-blue, green and violet shadows against the cloudless sky. Unusually heavy rainfall just days earlier brought fresh grass to the typically dry slopes, adding a rare touch of green to the Central Australian landscape. Painted with large brushes and expressive strokes, this original oil painting conveys the shifting desert light and my deep connection to the landscape.
Medium: Oil paint on two professional artist-quality plywood panels, framed in Tasmanian Oak and ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: West MacDonnell Ranges, 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: Mountain range in the West MacDonnells, Australian outback
Colour Scheme: Green, Burnt Umber, Burnt Sienna, Blue (ultramarine, cobalt), Violet
Features: This medium-sized plein air diptych captures the rare sight of the West MacDonnell Ranges covered in grass after unusual April rainfall in 2024. Painted on location, this contemporary Australian landscape artwork reflects the outback in a brief moment of transformation. The energetic, expressive brushwork conveys the changing light and conditions of the desert, typical of plein air technique.

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.
