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 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.
