Upper Nile Road, Glen Alice, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 54 cm

$1,450.00

Upper Nile Road was painted en plein air during a painting trip to Glen Alice in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales. The work captures the expansive paddocks and deep blue mountain ranges of the region through broad, expressive brushwork and shifting tonal relationships.

Executed outdoors in changing light and wind conditions, the painting reflects the immediacy and physicality of working directly within the landscape. The composition balances openness and movement, drawing the viewer through the foreground paddocks toward the distant shadowed ranges.

Medium: Oil on panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak
Location: Glen Alice, Central Tablelands, NSW
Subject: Golden paddocks and mountain ranges
Palette: Yellow, Blue, Grey-Green, White

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.

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 plein air oil painting is currently framed in Tasmanian Oak, 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. Alternate custom framing can be arranged upon request.
