$1,450.00
Sold

Blustery Afternoon was painted en plein air above Glen Davis in the Capertee Valley during strong winds and rapidly shifting light conditions. Overlooking the expansive valley and surrounding escarpments, the work captures the movement and atmosphere of the landscape through fluid, gestural brushwork and tonal contrast.

Broad marks and softened forms evoke the passing clouds, changing weather, and vast scale of the valley, while the painting retains the immediacy of direct observation. The work reflects an immersive engagement with the physical conditions and dramatic landscape of the Capertee region.

Medium: Oil on panel, framed in Tasmanian Oak
Location: Glen Davis, Capertee Valley, NSW
Subject: Mountain ranges, valley and windswept sky
Palette: Yellow Ochre, Indigo Blue, Grey-Green, White, Burnt Sienna
