Evensong IX, 2022, oil on board, 20 x 20 cm
The clouds seem to be racing upwards and across the sky in this little alla prima sky painting, as though they’re rushing to complete their work before sundown. Painted during a painting retreat in the Warrumbungles Dark Sky Park, this work forms part of a series of original oil paintings that capture the transcience and wonder of the landscape. Though small, the work participates in the Romantic tradition as expressed in contemporary Australian landscape painting. Nature is seen as intrinsically valuable and is pictured metaphorically, carrying spiritual and emotional stories and meanings.
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: Cloudy dusk in the Warrumbungles Dark Sky Park
Colour Scheme: Indigo, Ultramarine, Yellow, Cadmium Orange, Raw Umber, Violet
Features: Darkness has already fallen over the mountains and trees in this Australian bush landscape, yet the sky is filled with movement and colour. The indigo clouds are highlighted with orange and yellow underbellies, and a crimson streak along the horizon farewells the sinking sun. Evoking feelings of grandeur and awe, this tiny painting invites the viewer in to apprehend the power of nature and the beauty of the landscape.
