Hazy Capertee Afternoon, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 54 cm
This plein air painting of the Capertee Valley was created during the midday heat, when the sun is high, shadows are short, and the light is harsh and unforgiving. The intense glare softened the landscape’s colours into muted tones of pale gold and grey-green. Unlike my other works from the artist retreat, many of which focused on dramatic cliffs and wide floodplains, this scene felt quieter and more intimate. Rolling hills stretch into the distance, framed by soft burnt sienna ranges and dappled shadows beneath a small copse of trees.
Medium: Oil paint on a professional artist-quality plywood panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak, ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: 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: Golden paddock, trees with shadows and the mountains behind
Colour Scheme: Yellow Ochre, Blue, White, Raw Umber, Burnt Sienna, Violet
Features: An afternoon haze has softened the colours in this plein air landscape painting of a golden paddock, a copse of trees and the iconic Capertee mountains beyond. The composition is simplified and semi-abstract and the colours are warm and semi-realistic. The violet shadows invite the viewer deep into the mountain range to explore.

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.
