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

$1,450.00

Painted en plein air, while on an artist’s retreat in the Capertee Valley, this painting evokes the beauty and grandeur of this Australian landscape. As the afternoon passed, the cobalt blue shadows deepened on the mountain range. A stiff breeze swept the clouds across the sky, bringing a cool evening and heavy morning dew. The broad mark-making and expressive brushwork is characteristic of my en plein air work and suggest my deep connection with the landscape and immersion in the practice of painting.

  • Medium: Oil paint on a professional artist-quality plywood panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak, ready to hang

  • Location featured in the Painting: Glen Davis, Capertee Valley, NSW, Australia

  • Genre: Contemporary Australian Landscape Art, Plein Air Landscape Painting

  • Style: Plein air landscape paintings are created outdoors, capturing natural light and the changing atmosphere. This technique results in expressive, dynamic brushwork that conveys spontaneity and a strong connection to nature, reflecting the artist’s direct experience of the landscape.

  • Subject: A classic Australian mountain range with a cloudy sky behind

  • Colour Scheme: Green, Cobalt and Ultramarine Blue, White, Raw Umber, Burnt Sienna

  • Features: This plein air oil painting features a mountain range, with burnt sienna rocky outcrops emerging from amidst cobalt blue shadows and the green of the Australian bush. The clouds in the rich blue sky appear to be swept along rapidly by the wind, evoking the experience of being in the landscape.

How to Hang Your Painting:
This framed, medium-sized 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, 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.
