Warrumbungle Dreaming II, 2022, oil on board, 30 x 40 cm

$1,200.00

Warrumbungle Dreaming II was painted en plein air in Warrumbungle National Park following a hike to a rocky escarpment overlooking the surrounding bushland and distant mountain ranges. The work captures the expansive atmosphere and distinctive forms of the Warrumbungles through direct observation and expressive mark-making.

Executed wet-on-wet in a single sitting, the painting retains an immediacy and physical energy in the brushwork and surface texture. Naturalistic colour relationships and broad tonal contrasts evoke the rugged terrain, layered vegetation, and vast spatial depth of the Australian landscape.

Medium: Oil on panel, framed in white timber, ready to hang
Location: Warrumbungle National Park, NSW
Subject: Bushland and distant mountain ranges
Palette: Green, Yellow Ochre, Violet, Raw Umber, Burnt Sienna, White, Indigo

How to Hang Your Painting:
This plein air landscape painting of the Warrumbungles 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.
