A One-Off Original Painting of Atmospheric Light
"Twilight Gums" is an emotionally charged and brilliantly executed original painting that captures the dramatic, fleeting light of the Australian 'golden hour.' Pat Chaffey’s celebrated technique transforms the familiar bush landscape into a scene of intense colour and atmosphere.
Two majestic, pale-barked eucalypts stand as silent sentinels, powerfully lit by the horizontal rays of the setting or rising sun. The bark glows with ethereal highlights of pink, pale yellow, and soft violet, contrasting dramatically with the deep, cool shadows pooling at their base. The open ground is a tapestry of warm red-orange earth and expressive, sweeping shadows of purple and blue.
The eye is drawn between the foreground drama and the soft, misty blue hills on the horizon, which anchor the sense of vast Australian space. Executed in a highly textured medium (likely heavy oil pastel or paint), this award-winning piece showcases Chaffey’s skill in using complementary colours to evoke raw emotion and the intense beauty of the regional New South Wales landscape.
As a truly one-off original from Pat Chaffey’s acclaimed portfolio, "Twilight Gums" is a dynamic and essential acquisition for the collector drawn to landscapes of extraordinary light.
