Hazy Capertee Afternoon, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 54 cm

$1,450.00
Sold

Hazy Afternoon was painted en plein air in the Capertee Valley during the midday heat, when harsh light and minimal shadow softened the landscape into muted tones of pale gold, grey-green, and violet. Departing from the dramatic escarpments often associated with the region, the work focuses on a quieter and more intimate experience of the landscape.

Broad, expressive brushwork and simplified forms evoke the rhythm of rolling paddocks, distant ranges, and scattered trees beneath the intense Australian light. The painting balances observation with abstraction, capturing the atmosphere and stillness of the valley in the heat of the day.

Medium: Oil on panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak
Location: Capertee Valley, NSW
Subject: Rolling paddocks, trees and distant mountain ranges
Palette: Yellow Ochre, Blue, White, Raw Umber, Burnt Sienna, Violet
