$1,200.00
Sold

This oil painting, interpreting Christian Sinding’s piano composition Rustle of Spring, captures the element of air. The exuberant energy of a spring breeze is suggested by the clouds whisking across the horizon. The ‘whipped up’ energy in the clouds and the leaning trees suggest the cascading melody of Sinding's piece. The horizon is anchored by a dark treeline, contrasting with the lightness and movement above.

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

  • Musical Composition that prompted the Painting: Rustle of Spring by Christian Sinding

  • 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 Rustle of Spring by Christian Sinding, allowing the music to guide the emotional tone and compositional rhythm of the piece.

  • Subject: Sweeping spring clouds over a bright blue sky

  • Colour Scheme: Cadmium Yellow, White, Ultramarine and Windsor Blue, Indigo and Green

  • Features: This oil painting features sweeping clouds streaking across a bright blue sky, suggesting the exuberant energy of a spring breeze.
