This landscape painting explores reflection, spatial ambiguity, and the shifting instability of light within the landscape. Reflected forms suggest a sandstone escarpment emerging through the surface of the water, while darkened trees and the illuminated hillside move between recognition and dissolution.

The composition plays with the ephemerality of colour and atmosphere, where reflection becomes entangled with memory, perception, and imagined space. The image resists fixed orientation, inviting the viewer into a slower encounter with surface, depth, and the uncertain boundaries between land, water, and light.

Built through layered brushwork and tonal variation, the work reflects an ongoing engagement with the transient and perceptual nature of landscape.

Medium: Oil paint on panel, ready to hang
Location: Capertee Valley, NSW, Australia
Subject: Reflected sandstone forms within a creek landscape
Palette: Cobalt blue, indigo, cadmium orange, burnt sienna, white, sap green, terre verte, ultramarine blue

How to Install or Hang Your Painting:

The Australian gallery standard recommends hanging a painting so that the mid-point of the artwork (height) is approximately 155 cm from the floor. This may vary depending on ceiling height, interior furniture, or whether it is a space where people will be sitting or standing, such as a living room or dining room. It is advisable to avoid hanging oil paintings in direct sunlight, as UV can damage the pigment, resulting in discolouration.

Framing:
An original oil painting in a contemporary style is often left unframed when installed in art galleries, public or private collections. This work is currently unframed; however, framing can be arranged by agreement. The artwork is ready to hang on Australian gallery standard D-hooks and wire.
