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

This unframed, small landscape painting is well-suited to intimate domestic interiors and may be displayed effectively above furniture or within smaller architectural spaces. The work is best experienced in a well-lit environment, where the tonal variation and surface detail can be fully perceived.

For optimal presentation, the centre of the artwork is generally hung at approximately eye level, though placement may be adjusted in response to ceiling height, surrounding furniture, and the proportions of the space.

To preserve the longevity and stability of the surface and pigments, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight should be avoided.
