Across the Flood Plains, Glen Davis, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 30 cm

$1,100.00

Across the Flood Plains was painted en plein air from Glen Davis Lookout in the Capertee Valley, overlooking the expansive floodplain and layered mountain ranges beyond. The work captures the tonal contrasts of deep blue shadow, distant haze, and shifting inland light across the valley landscape.

Broad, gestural brushwork and atmospheric colour variation evoke the scale and quiet drama of the surrounding escarpments while retaining the immediacy of direct observation. The painting reflects an ongoing engagement with the landscape of Glen Davis and the changing conditions experienced while painting outdoors.

Medium: Oil on panel, ready to hang
Location: Glen Davis, Capertee Valley, NSW
Subject: Floodplain and shadowed mountain ranges
Palette: Yellow, Cobalt Blue, Indigo, Ultramarine, Raw Umber, Grey-Green, White

How to Hang Your Painting:
This unframed, small plein air landscape painting of the Australian Central Tablelands 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, as 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.

Framing Details:
