Wisdom of Trees II depicts a fire-scarred tree in the bushland of the Lower Blue Mountains, shaped by damage yet continuing to reach toward the light. While grounded in close observation of the landscape, the work explores themes of resilience, transformation, and the enduring presence of nature.

Executed in oil on panel, the painting combines textured surface variation with tonal depth and naturalistic colour relationships. Drawing on the Romantic landscape tradition, the work moves beyond representation to evoke a contemplative and emotional response to the Australian landscape.

Medium: Oil on panel, ready to hang
Location: Lower Blue Mountains, NSW
Subject: Fire-scarred tree in bushland
Palette: Cobalt Blue, Phthalo Blue, 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—natural or artificial light will enhance 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.
