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

$880.00

Evensong VIII is an alla prima sky painting created in Warrumbungle National Park during a painting retreat in 2022. Part of a series of small-scale sky studies, the work captures the shifting atmosphere and luminous colour of dusk above the silhouetted bush horizon.

Executed wet-on-wet in a single sitting, the painting retains an immediacy and fluidity in the brushwork. Though intimate in scale, the expansive sky and layered cloud formations evoke a strong sense of depth, stillness, and contemplation.

Medium: Oil on panel, framed in white timber, ready to hang
Location: Warrumbungle National Park, NSW
Subject: Dusk sky above silhouetted trees
Palette: Yellow, Magenta, Indigo, Raw Umber, Violet, White

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.
