Mountain Mass, West MacDonnell Ranges, 2024, oil on board, 30 x 60 cm
Within this distant mountain range lies the remarkable Ellery Creek Big Hole, a pristine and deep waterhole nestled in the gorge that provides a welcome refuge for visitors during heat and drought. On this afternoon, a stiff breeze whipped clouds across the cobalt sky, a rare sight whilst I was painting en plein air in Central Australia. This artwork was painted swiftly to encapsulate my connection to the landscape and my experience of being in the desert.
Medium: Oil paint on a professional artist-quality plywood panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak and ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: Near Ellery Creek Big Hole, 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: Mountain range in the Australian outback
Colour Scheme: Magenta, Indigo, Crimson, Burnt Umber, Blue (ultramarine, cobalt).
Features: This original, semi-abstract oil painting of outback mountains features bold colour and broad, expressive brushstrokes - hallmarks of plein air painting. It represents the unique contrast of glare and heat, with the stillness of the ancient landforms of Central Australia. A medium-sized contemporary landscape painting suited to private and public collections.

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.

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.
