Into & Beyond IV, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 30 cm
While in the Warrumbungle Dark Sky Park on a plein air painting artists retreat, I noticed my gaze shift from the mountain ranges and recognisable tors to ‘non-descript’ or ‘unremarkable’ places like this collection of trees. The dark trunks seemed to act as a barrier or line of containment, standing between me and the distant mountains. The dead tree in the foreground evoked transitions and the paradox of beauty in death. This painting was started as a plein air painting during the retreat, then 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, with a stand of darker, younger trunks behind it and a paddock and mountains in the distance. It is a highly stylised composition that evokes emotive and spiritual resonance.

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, 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.
