Crown of Light, Glen Davis, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 54 cm
Painted in the late afternoon in Glen Davis in the Capertee Valley, as I squinted into the sun’s glare. This plein air oil painting contrasts bold, gestural brushstrokes in the deep shadows of the rocks with the sun’s glow behind. A semi-abstract work that captures the rugged strength of this timeless landscape.
Medium: Oil paint on a professional artist-quality plywood panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak, ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: Glen Davis, Capertee Valley, NSW, 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: Rugged mountain outcrop in deep shadow with sun behind
Colour Scheme: Violet, Raw Umber, Yellow, Blue, White
Features: The mountainous landscape of the Capertee Valley features many such outcrops that stand proudly as though timeless. This plein air oil painting evokes the glare of the late afternoon as it crowns the top of this bluff, throwing it into deep violet and umber shadow. A typical Australian experience of heat and glare - captured in the expressive marks and buttery texture of oil paint.

How to Hang Your Painting: This framed, medium-sized plein air landscape painting of the Australian Central Tablelands 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.

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).
