What the West Wind Saw, after Debussy, 2016, oil on board, 60 x 60cm, framed
This contemporary Australian landscape painting captures the beauty of a dramatic evening sky over the Blue Mountains. With gestural, expressive brushwork, it evokes the movement of clouds swept by the western wind, echoing the mood of Debussy’s ‘What the West Wind Saw’. Inspired by the expansive skies and sweeping vistas near my Blue Mountains studio, this artwork brings light, motion, and atmosphere to any modern space.
Medium: Oil paint on stretched canvas, ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia

Style: This landscape painting appears to employ a realistic style, however, it is imbued with spiritual and emotive meaning and stories, making it characteristic of the Romantic style of landscape painting.

Features: Featuring a modern, semi-abstract composition, this original oil painting captures the beauty of a realistic Australian dusk sky.

How to Install or Hang Your Painting: This medium-sized Australian sky painting is perfect for display above furniture or on a feature wall, such as an entryway. It’s best suited to a well-lit space—natural or artificial light will enhance the full spectrum of colours. Whether your home is traditional or modern, the artwork’s versatile style will complement your interior.
For optimal viewing, follow the Australian gallery standard: hang the painting so the centre sits approximately 155 cm from the floor. Adjustments may be needed based on ceiling height, surrounding furniture, and whether the space is used primarily for sitting or standing (e.g., dining rooms vs. living areas).
To preserve the painting’s colour and detail, avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can lead to pigment fading or discolouration.
Framing Information: This original oil painting is currently presented in a clean, warm-white L-shaped frame that complements its contemporary style. If you prefer a different framing option, custom alternatives can be arranged by request. The artwork is ready to hang, fitted with gallery-standard D-rings and wire in accordance with Australian exhibition guidelines. In many public and private collections, contemporary works of this size are often displayed unframed to highlight their modern aesthetic.
