Marks of Time, West MacDonnell Ranges, 2024, oil on board, framed diptych 30 x 80 cm
This plein air landscape was painted on a bright, Autumn morning when the cliff faces of Ormiston Gorge in the West MacDonnell Ranges glistened in the early sun. To capture the changing effects of light and colour, I worked quickly, using broad, vigorous brushstrokes and bold colours. I sought to evoke the drama of this remarkable gorge and connect with the spirit of the Australian outback.
Medium: Oil paint on two professional artist-quality plywood panels, framed in Tasmanian Oak and ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: Ormiston Gorge, West MacDonnell Ranges, Central Australia
Genre: Contemporary Australian Landscape Art, Plein Air Landscape Painting
Style: Plein air landscape paintings are created outdoors, capturing natural light and the changing atmosphere. This technique results in expressive, dynamic brushwork that conveys spontaneity and a strong connection to nature, reflecting the artist’s direct experience of the landscape.
Subject: Rocky mountain range in the Australian outback, Ormiston Gorge
Colour Scheme: Cadmium Orange, Crimson, Burnt Umber, Blue (ultramarine, cobalt), Red Gold, Burnt Sienna, Magenta.
Features: This original, semi-abstract oil painting of Ormiston Gorge features bold colour and broad, expressive brushstrokes - hallmarks of contemporary Australian landscape art. Painted en plein air in the outback, it captures the striking contrasts of light, heat, and colour unique to Central Australia. A medium-sized artwork ideal for collectors seeking an iconic Australian landscape.

How to Hang Your Painting: This framed, medium-sized plein air landscape painting of the Australian outback is easy to install and ideal for display above furniture or on a feature wall such as an entryway. 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.
