Wisdom of Trees I, 2023, oil on board, 30 x 30 cm

$1,400.00

Wisdom of Trees I depicts a tree in the bushland of the Lower Blue Mountains that has remained a point of fascination and reflection for many years. Emerging from a crevice in the sandstone escarpment and marked by fire damage, the tree becomes a quiet symbol of endurance, vulnerability, and persistence within the landscape.

Executed in oil on panel, the painting combines detailed observation with layered texture and tonal depth to evoke the density and atmosphere of the Australian bush. While naturalistic in appearance, the work draws on the Romantic landscape tradition, using the landscape as a site for emotional and contemplative reflection.

Medium: Oil on panel, ready to hang
Location: Lower Blue Mountains, NSW
Subject: Fire-scarred tree on sandstone escarpment
Palette: Green, White, Grey, Burnt Umber, Raw Umber, Yellow

How to Hang Your Painting:

This small landscape painting of Blue Mountains bush 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.
