Trephina Gorge, approximately 85 km east of Alice Springs, in the Macdonnell Ranges, is a place of sacred significance that glows richly in the morning light. Painted en plein air, this artwork depicts the gorge dry, despite the recent rain, the sandy riverbed having quickly absorbed the water beneath its surface. The deep blue-purple shadows contrast with the rich orange hues of the rockface in sunlight.

While painting on location in Central Australia, I sought to create an authentic response to the spectacular outback landscape by capturing in loose, expressive brushstrokes the changing effects of light and shade.

  • Medium: Oil paint on two professional artist-quality plywood panels, ready to hang

  • Location featured in the Painting: Trephina Gorge, East 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: Rocky cliffs along dry river bed in the Australian outback, Trephina Gorge

  • Colour Scheme: Blue (ultramarine, indigo, pthalo, cobalt), Burnt Umber, Red Gold, Burnt Sienna, Australian Leaf Green, Magenta.

  • Features: Broad, expressive brushstrokes and bold colour characterise this original oil painting of Trephina Gorge. The strong light and heat in Australia’s outback make it a landscape of extremes, and this plein air artwork captures the contrasting temperature, colour and light in the composition and palette. A medium-sized piece that will suit a discerning buyer seeking an iconic Australian landscape painting.

How to Hang Your Painting: This 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. 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.

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.

Framing Details: This original oil painting on plywood is currently unframed, consistent with how contemporary artworks are often presented in galleries and private collections. It is fitted with professional D-hooks and wire for immediate hanging. Custom framing can be arranged upon request.
