Invitation, 2026, oil on board, 50 x 40 cm

$1,600.00

This landscape painting explores stillness, reflection and the shifting relationship between perception and surface. The reflected reeds, trees and sky appear suspended in time, inviting the viewer to slow down and enter the work.

Rich palette knife passages sit alongside delicately blended transitions, while finely articulated reeds are balanced against broad, expressive marks. These varied approaches to paint application create a surface that is both tactile and luminous.

Medium: Oil paint on panel, ready to hang
Location: Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia
Subject: Reflections of reeds, trees and sky within water
Palette: Ultramarine blue, phthalo, yellow ochre, sap green, white, violet

How to Install or Hang Your Painting:

The Australian gallery standard recommends hanging a painting so that the mid-point of the artwork (height) is approximately 155 cm from the floor. This may vary depending on ceiling height, interior furniture, or whether it is a space where people will be sitting or standing, such as a living room or dining room. It is advisable to avoid hanging oil paintings in direct sunlight, as UV can damage the pigment, resulting in discolouration.

Framing:
An original oil painting in a contemporary style is often left unframed when installed in art galleries, public or private collections. This work is currently unframed; however, framing can be arranged by agreement. The artwork is ready to hang on Australian gallery standard D-hooks and wire.
