"Clouds Forming Over Canola Fields, You Yangs" – Original Oil Painting on Board, Framed in Walnut Frame
There’s a certain magic in the stillness before the weather shifts — a hush across the land as clouds begin to gather and cast soft shadows over golden fields. “Clouds Forming Over Canola Fields, You Yangs” beautifully captures this fleeting moment of balance between sunshine and sky, rendered with sensitivity and impressionistic charm.
Painted in luminous oil with palette knife and brush, Rod Moore delivers a gentle yet expressive landscape of regional Victoria. The brilliant yellow of flowering canola stretches across the foreground in bold texture, broken only by a few scattered trees standing quietly beneath an expansive, cloud-laden sky. In the distance, the soft blue silhouette of the You Yangs anchors the horizon, hinting at the vastness and calm that defines this iconic region.
The brushwork in the sky is loose and atmospheric, giving form to the clouds without rigidity — just as they appear in nature, ever shifting. The field below glows in warm hues, textured and vibrant, offering a stunning contrast to the soft blues and greys overhead.
Framed in a timeless walnut frame with matte white inset, this piece brings both brightness and tranquillity to any room. It's a painting that evokes renewal, the changing of seasons, and the quiet strength of the landscape.
