Afternoon Breeze, Pantoneys Crown, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 54 cm

$1,450.00

Afternoon Breeze was painted en plein air overlooking Pantoneys Crown in the Capertee Valley as evening light moved across the escarpment. The work captures the brief transition between daylight and dusk, where glowing sandstone cliffs contrast with deepening blue shadows beneath a shifting sky.

Executed rapidly in response to the fading light, the painting uses loose, gestural brushwork and tonal contrast to evoke the atmosphere and movement of the landscape. The expressive surface reflects the immediacy of painting outdoors and an engagement with the changing conditions of the valley at sunset.

Medium: Oil on panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak
Location: Pantoneys Crown, Capertee Valley, NSW
Subject: Pantoneys Crown in evening light
Palette: Green, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine, White, Raw Umber, Burnt Sienna

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, where 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.
