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 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.
