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

Sale Price: $500.00 Original Price: $880.00

This alla prima sky painting acts like a portal – the vast sky depicted within the almost miniature dimensions seems simultaneously to draw the viewer in and transport them beyond. Made in the Warrumbungles National Park, a Dark Sky Park, while on a painting retreat in 2022, this painting forms part of a series of tiny sky paintings, each an expression of reverence to the 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 Warrumbungles National Park, 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: Dusk sky over a horizon of tree silhouettes

  • Colour Scheme: Yellow, Magenta, Indigo, Raw Umber, Violet, White

  • Features: A dramatic, though small, painting of a dusk sky with clouds reflecting the golden yellow light of the sun. The silhouettes of trees in the Australian bushland along the horizon locate the viewer somewhere between the ground and the treetops.

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

This original oil sky painting is currently unframed, consistent with how contemporary artworks are often presented in galleries and private collections. It is fitted with professional D-hooks and wire for immediate hanging. Custom framing can be arranged upon request.
