Late Thursday, 2024, oil on canvas, 152 x 115 cm
This quintessential contemporary Australian landscape painting, created for an exhibition in 2024 at Everglades Gallery, references two of my artistic heroes - Mark Rothko and Caspar David Friedrich, whose art speaks to the soul. Both artists have imparted valuable lessons about drawing the viewer in, as if to the edge of a precipice. This large, vertical, rectangular painting relates strongly to the size of the human body. Additionally, the cool green-blue in the middle of the clouds evokes a sense of falling into deep space. A dramatic stormy cloud formation towers above the bushland trees in dark silhouette, amplifying the viewer’s experience of being engulfed by nature. Up close, the gestural brushwork belies the landscape’s realistic appearance. This sky painting suggests the ‘apprehension of the ineffable’, akin to the spiritual paintings of Friedrich and Rothko.
Medium: Oil paint on stretched canvas, ready to hang
Location featured in the Painting: 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: Numinous dusk sky, Dramatic clouds, Trees
Colour Scheme: Blue (ultramarine, indigo, pthalo, windsor), Yellow, warm and cool Greys, Burnt Umber, Viridian and Black
Features: A dramatic sunset sky painting, with voluminous clouds towering above a dark horizon of Blue Mountains bush. Yellow-orange light bounces off the base of the clouds, and a deep green-blue space in the centre invites the viewer to dive into the sky.

How to Install or Hang Your Painting: Unlike many landscape paintings, the vertical format makes this artwork suitable for large walls or rooms with unusually high ceilings, such as a foyer or entryway in a modern home or office. The Australian gallery standard recommends hanging a painting so that the mid-point of the artwork (height) is approximately 155 cm from the floor. This may vary depending on ceiling height, interior furniture, or whether it is a space where people will be sitting or standing, such as a living room or dining room. It is advisable to avoid hanging oil paintings in direct sunlight, as UV can damage the pigment, resulting in discolouration.
Framing: An original oil painting on stretched canvas of this size and in a contemporary style is often left unframed when installed in art galleries, public or private collections. This work is currently unframed; however, framing can be arranged by agreement. The artwork is ready to hang on Australian gallery standard D-hooks and wire.
