Crown of Light, Glen Davis, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 54 cm

$1,450.00

Crown of Light was painted en plein air in Glen Davis in the Capertee Valley during the late afternoon, as sunlight moved across the sandstone escarpments. The work contrasts deep shadow with intense glare, capturing the rugged presence and shifting atmosphere of the landscape.

Executed with broad, gestural brushwork, the painting balances abstraction and observation through tonal contrast and textured surface variation. The composition evokes the heat, stillness, and physical immediacy of painting directly within the landscape.

Medium: Oil on panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak
Location: Glen Davis, Capertee Valley, NSW
Subject: Mountain outcrop in shadow and afternoon light
Palette: Violet, Raw Umber, Yellow, Blue, White
