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 framed, small plein air landscape painting of the Australian Central Tablelands is well-suited to intimate domestic interiors and may be displayed effectively above furniture or within smaller architectural spaces. The work is best experienced in a well-lit environment, where the tonal variation and surface detail can be fully perceived.

For optimal presentation, the centre of the artwork is generally hung at approximately eye level, though placement may be adjusted in response to ceiling height, surrounding furniture, and the proportions of the space.

To preserve the longevity and stability of the surface and pigments, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight should be avoided.
