Falling Upwards II, 2025, oil on canvas, 122 x 91.5 cm
This powerful, soulful sky painting captures a towering, twisting cloud that invites you both inwards and upwards. It is inspired by the dramatic, vast skies of the Blue Mountains, where I have my artist’s studio and where I love to bushwalk to commune with nature.
Despite being a contemporary Australian landscape painting, it belongs to the long-established Romantic tradition, where nature acts as a metaphor for both spiritual and emotive meanings. The loose, spontaneous marks that create the energy in the clouds above are contrasted by the serene, muted tones of the banks of grey cloud nearer the horizon line. Your eye can seek rest and repose there. The bush below, which is my local bushland in Blaxland, also offers a place of solace and spiritual connection.
Medium: Oil paint on stretched canvas, ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia
Genre: Contemporary Australian Landscape Art, Spiritual Landscape Painting
Style: This landscape painting appears to employ a realistic style, however, it is imbued with spiritual and emotive meaning and stories, making it characteristic of the Romantic style of landscape painting.
Subject: Dramatic Cloudy Sky over Australian Bush
Colour Scheme: Blue (ultramarine, indigo, pthalo, windsor, cobalt), White, Grey, Burnt Umber, Yellow
Features: A medium-sized sky landscape painting with a powerful, energetic composition that suits many styles of home decor, both contemporary and traditional. The colours and forms in this painting are naturalistic yet strong and will complement both a neutral colour scheme and a home with bold wall colours.

How to Install or Hang Your Painting: This medium-sized painting can be hung in most rooms, above furniture or on an open wall, such as in an entryway. As it has areas of both intense and muted colour, it suits a well-lit space in either a traditional or modern home, so that all the subtleties in colour can be appreciated.
The Australian gallery standard recommends hanging a painting so that the mid-point of the artwork (height) is approximately 155 cm from the floor. This may vary depending on ceiling height, interior furniture, or whether it is a space where people will be sitting or standing, such as a living room or dining room. It is advisable to avoid hanging oil paintings in direct sunlight, as UV can damage the pigment, resulting in discolouration.
Framing: An original oil painting on stretched canvas of this size and in a contemporary style is often left unframed when installed in art galleries, public or private collections. This work is currently unframed; however, framing can be arranged by agreement. The artwork is ready to hang on Australian gallery standard D-hooks and wire.
