As the title suggests, this painting was made in gusty wind that almost took the easel sailing. I stood above Glen Davis, overlooking the valley and mountain range of the world’s widest canyon to create this plein air painting. It evokes the changing light and colours of that windy afternoon in the gestural, fluid brush strokes.

  • Medium: Oil paint on a professional artist-quality plywood panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak, ready to hang

  • Location featured in the Painting: Glen Davis, Capertee Valley, NSW, 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 mountains surrounding a valley with windswept clouds across the sky

  • Colour Scheme: Yellow Ochre, Indigo Blue, Grey-green, White, Burnt Sienna

  • Features: The feeling of the wind is evoked in this plein air work. The clouds seem to be travelling swiftly across the hazy sky, and the mountains appear dark and moody against the golden paddock in the valley. This plein air painting suggests my deep connection with Capertee – the beauty and sublimity of the landscape.
