Mountain Halls II, after Grieg, 2024, oil on board, 22 x 30 cm

$1,200.00

This oil painting captures a rugged mountain peak, its jagged rocky ridges painted with bold, textured strokes of ochres, browns, and deep shadows. The looming forms suggest both strength and tension, rising sharply against a distant forest horizon. In the Hall of the Mountain King, by Edvard Grieg, is a dynamic piece that rises in tension, building the musical narrative. This painting evokes the same dramatic mood as the landscape seems to gather force, echoing the crescendo and accelerando of the music.

  • Medium: Oil paint on plywood, framed in Italian timber, ready to hang

  • Musical Composition that prompted the Painting: In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg

  • Genre: Contemporary Australian Landscape Painting, Alla Prima Landscape

  • Style: While this landscape painting adopts a realistic style, it is deeply infused with spiritual and emotive meaning, aligning it with the Romantic tradition of landscape art. Created using the alla prima technique — painting directly in a single sitting — it was completed wet-on-wet to preserve the spontaneity and immediacy of each brushstroke. The work was painted in response to In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg, allowing the music to guide the emotional tone and compositional rhythm of the piece.

  • Subject: Jagged mountain ridge against distant forest horizon

  • Colour Scheme: Ochre, Burnt sienna, Umber, Deep green, Olive, Grey, Charcoal, Black, Pale blue, Muted yellow

  • Features: This oil painting depicts a rugged mountain ridge with bold, textured strokes of ochre and shadowed rock, contrasting against a distant green forest and pale sky, evoking drama, tension, and a sense of rising power.

How to Hang Your Painting:
This original landscape painting 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.
