Into & Beyond IV was begun en plein air in Warrumbungle National Park during a painting retreat and later completed in the studio. The work draws attention to a quieter and often overlooked area of the landscape, where dark tree trunks form a visual threshold against the distant mountain ranges.

Executed in oil on panel, the painting combines layered tonal contrasts and structured composition with detailed surface variation. The presence of the dead tree in the foreground introduces themes of transition, endurance, and impermanence, while the work as a whole reflects a contemplative engagement with landscape in the tradition of contemporary Romantic painting.

Medium: Oil on panel, framed and ready to hang
Location: Warrumbungle National Park, NSW
Subject: Trees and distant mountain ranges
Palette: Black, White, Grey, Burnt Umber, Raw Umber, Yellow Ochre

How to Hang Your Painting:
This small landscape painting of Blue Mountains bush 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, where 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.
