While in the Warrumbungle Dark Sky Park on a plein air painting retreat, I noticed my gaze shift from the dramatic mountain ranges and recognisable tors to the more ‘non-descript’ or ‘unremarkable’ places, like this collection of trees.

The dark trunks appeared to form a barrier or line of containment, standing between me and the distant mountains.
The dead tree in the foreground suggested themes of transition and the paradox of beauty in death.

This painting was started en plein air during the retreat and later completed in my Blue Mountains studio.

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

  • Location featured in the Painting: Warrumbungle National Park, NSW, Australia

  • Genre: Contemporary Australian Landscape Art, Spiritual Landscape Painting

  • Style: This landscape painting appears to employ a realistic style; however, it is imbued with spiritual and emotive meaning and stories, making it characteristic of the Romantic style of landscape painting.

  • Subject: Trees in the Australian Bush

  • Colour Scheme: Black, White, Grey, Burnt Umber, Raw Umber, Yellow Ochre

  • Features: This painting features a large, white, dead tree in the foreground, standing in stark contrast to a stand of darker, younger trunks behind it, with a paddock and mountains in the distance.

    It is a highly stylised composition that balances formal structure with emotional depth, inviting the viewer to reflect on themes of mortality, resilience, and the sacredness of overlooked places.

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.
