Immovable Fortress, Glen Davis, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 54 cm

$1,450.00

Immovable Fortress was painted en plein air during an artist residency in the Capertee Valley, capturing the shifting light and atmosphere of the landscape as afternoon moved toward evening. Deepening cobalt shadows, moving cloud formations, and cooling air informed the work’s tonal structure and expressive surface.

Executed with broad mark-making and gestural brushwork, the painting evokes the scale and movement of the mountain ranges while retaining a sense of immediacy and direct observation. The work reflects an immersive engagement with landscape, weather, and the physical process of painting outdoors.

Medium: Oil on panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak
Location: Glen Davis, Capertee Valley, NSW
Subject: Mountain range beneath a moving sky
Palette: Green, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine, White, Raw Umber, Burnt Sienna
