Evensong XVII, 2023, oil on board, 20 x 20 cm
A still winter’s afternoon in the Blue Mountains prompted me to make this painting. The colours and forms of the clouds are captured in the oil paint, with fresh, dynamic brushstrokes and immediate mark-making. This is characteristic of the alla prima painting method employed. The landscape painting evokes a wistful, dream-like state of mind, thus representing the Romantic tradition of landscape painting.
Medium: Oil paint on a professional artist-quality plywood panel, 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: A Blue Mountains afternoon sky in yellow and blue
Colour Scheme: Yellow, Indigo, Ultramarine Blue, Raw Umber, Violet, White, Crimson
Features: The unusual shapes of the clouds in this painting and the strong yellow contrasts give it a dream-like quality. It is a small landscape painting, yet it encapsulates a vast vista over the Blue Mountains.

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