Evensong XI is an alla prima sky painting inspired by the changing evening light above the Blue Mountains. As the sun descends behind the horizon, expansive cloud formations and shifting colour contrasts create a sense of movement, atmosphere, and quiet reflection.

Executed wet-on-wet in a single sitting, the painting retains an immediacy and energy in the brushwork and surface texture. Though intimate in scale, the work evokes the vastness and theatricality of the sky, reflecting an ongoing engagement with the landscape and its emotional resonance.

Medium: Oil on panel, framed in white timber, ready to hang
Location: Blue Mountains, NSW
Subject: Dramatic dusk sky above mountain horizon
Palette: Blue, Yellow, Magenta, Cadmium Orange, Indigo, Raw Umber, Violet

How to Hang Your Painting:
This small sky landscape painting of a Blue Mountains dusk sky 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, 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.
