Wisdom of Trees I, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 30 cm
For over ten years, I have walked past the tree in this painting, in the bushland near my home in the Lower Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. It has always spoken to me through its form and the seeming impossibility of its survival. As though by a miracle, it emerges from a crevice in the sandstone rock and stands serenely overlooking the valley below.
The painting evokes a sense of resilience and sadness. The tree, having been struck by fire at some time, has a burned-out core and is split in two. It thus speaks metaphorically about rifts that tear things asunder, about division and destruction. Although realistic in appearance, the painting is Romantic in style as it arises from my attentive listening to nature and reflects my spiritual connection with this landscape.
Medium: Oil paint on a professional artist-quality plywood panel, ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: Lower Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia
Genre: Contemporary Australian Landscape Art, Spiritual Landscape Painting
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.
Subject: Tree in the Australian Bush
Colour Scheme: Green, White, Grey, Burnt Umber, Raw Umber, Yellow
Features: A complex composition supports and frames the meaning of this picture. Created in painstaking layers of fine detail, the original oil artwork captures the rich tapestry of texture and pattern distinctive to the Australian bush in the Blue Mountains.

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).
