Evensong XIV is an alla prima landscape painting that captures the final light of day moving across the sky above the Blue Mountains. Sweeping cloud formations and vivid colour contrasts create a sense of movement and atmosphere, while the silhouetted bushland below anchors the composition in stillness and shadow.

Executed wet-on-wet in a single sitting, the painting retains an energetic immediacy in the brushwork and surface texture. The work explores the emotional resonance of changing light and the transient beauty of the evening sky.

Medium: Oil on panel, ready to hang
Location: Blue Mountains, NSW
Subject: Late afternoon sky above silhouetted bushland
Palette: Yellow, Magenta, Indigo, Phthalo Blue, Ultramarine, Raw Umber, Violet, White
