Evensong II, 2022, oil on board, 20 x 20 cm

$770.00

Evensong II is an alla prima sky painting created during an artist retreat in Warrumbungle National Park in 2022. Painted at dusk, the work captures layered cloud formations moving across the evening sky as the final light shifts through varying tones of blue, pink, and gold.

Executed wet-on-wet in a single sitting, the painting retains a sense of immediacy and movement in the brushwork and atmospheric surface. The silhouetted bush horizon creates a quiet threshold between light and darkness, evoking the expansive stillness of the landscape at day’s end.

Medium: Oil on panel, ready to hang
Location: Warrumbungles, NSW
Subject: Cloud-filled dusk sky above bushland
Palette: Blue, Yellow, Pink, Crimson, Indigo Blue, Raw Umber

How to Hang Your Painting:
This small sky landscape painting of a Warrumbungles 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.
