Evensong XI, 2023, oil on board, 20 x 20 cm
This alla prima sky painting evokes feelings of longing and peace. The sun is about to dip behind the Blue Mountains horizon, and dramatic clouds are playing out their last act in the evening colours. Living and making art here, in the Blue Mountains, affords me constant inspiration. This work, though small, captures the energy and theatre of the vast and often surprising sky.
Medium: Oil paint on a professional artist-quality plywood panel, framed in a white timber frame, ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: The Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia
Genre: Sky Landscape Painting, Contemporary Australian Landscape Art
Style: This is an alla prima oil painting made directly, in a single sitting. Working wet-on-wet in this way ensures spontaneity and immediacy in the mark-making. It is imbued with spiritual and emotive meaning and stories, making it characteristic of the Romantic style of landscape painting.
Subject: Dramatic dusk sky over a Blue Mountains horizon
Colour Scheme: Blue, Yellow, Magenta, Cadmium Orange, Indigo, Raw Umber, Violet
Features: Although small, this artwork acts as a portal to a larger and more significant world. Imbued with story and metaphor, the glorious golden dusk, with the sun about to dip behind the horizon, seems to mirror one of life’s profound transitions. The clouds, in various tints and shades, playfully reflect the sun’s dying rays.

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).
