Settling, 2022, oil on canvas, 137 x 180cm
A large feature painting depicting the gentle rise of mist from valleys on a cool winter’s day in the Blue Mountains. Whilst inspired by a view of the Blue Labyrinth that I often gaze upon, this image represents a universal spiritual experience of mountains. A friend once related a story about how, when mist or fog closes in around hiking mountaineers, they know to pitch their tents and wait until visibility returns and thus, safety is restored. This contemporary Australian landscape painting is as much about an experience of sublime beauty as it is about how, when I created it, the mists were beginning to rise from around me, affording me clear sight of my surroundings and the horizon and allowing me to once more journey onwards. The painting speaks about my soul connection to the landscape and how, when given the opportunity, nature can act as a teacher and spiritual home.
Medium: Oil paint on stretched canvas, ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: The Blue Labyrinth, Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia
Genre: Contemporary Australian Landscape Art, Spiritual Landscape Painting
Subject: Mist Rising from Valleys over the Blue Mountains
Colour Scheme: Blue (ultramarine, indigo, pthalo), White, Grey, Burnt Umber
Features: This large Australian landscape painting was rendered with many layers of transparent oil paint to suggest movement and the atmospheric effect of mist lifting. The vibrancy of the naturalistic colours, blues, greys and browns, contrasts subtly with the tinted ground. The large scale of the artwork relates to the scale of the human body and thus, invites the viewer to metaphorically travel into the spiritual landscape. You are encouraged to float above the mountains, connect with the mystical spaces of the valleys and soar with the spirit of the sky.

How to Install or Hang Your Painting: This work is a large, atmospheric and ethereal landscape painting of the Blue Mountains on a misty morning. The minimalist semi-abstract style of the artwork makes it a suitable piece to accompany both contemporary and more traditional home decor. The scale of the artwork means it needs to be installed with some space surrounding it, so that it can be best appreciated. The muted, naturalistic palette suits a range of both traditional and modern decor and colour schemes. It is an impactful piece for either a dark grey or neutral wall, where it can be viewed from some distance.
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 on stretched canvas of this size and 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.
