"Reflections in Ochre & Blue"
Oil on Board – Framed
Artist: Rod Moore
Size - 40 x 50 cm

Bold, textured, and unmistakably Australian, Reflections in Ochre & Blue is a powerful landscape painting by respected artist Rod Moore, known for his evocative interpretations of the Australian bush. In this piece, Moore brings his signature palette knife technique and gestural mark making to life, capturing not only the visual essence of the land but the emotional weight it carries.

Built with layers of rich, impasto oil, the painting reveals the tactile energy of Moore’s process. Each stroke is deliberate scraped, dragged, or pressed into the surface with expressive force creating a rugged terrain of texture that mimics the raw contours of the landscape itself. The thick application of ochres and siennas across the escarpment contrasts beautifully with the cool, scraped-down blues of the water’s reflection below. It's a masterclass in balance, between warm and cool, chaos and calm, solid ground and fluid mirror.

The palette is deeply rooted in the Australian earth: burnt umber, golden ochre, and eucalyptus green play against sky cobalt and river slate. The interplay of texture and light breathes life into every inch of the surface, while the mirrored reflection adds compositional harmony and a quiet, meditative depth.

Framed with clean white edging and warm timber, Reflections in Ochre & Blue is presented with a timeless elegance that enhances its investment appeal. For collectors, this is more than a beautiful landscape, it’s an original by Rod Moore, a painter whose growing recognition in Australian contemporary art circles continues to position his work as highly collectible.

Moore’s work appeals to those who value not only visual impact but the artist’s authentic connection to place. His ability to translate mood, memory, and material into a singular scene makes each piece a resonant statement and a smart acquisition. As Moore’s sales history and collector base expand, so too does the value of investing in one of his originals.

Whether displayed in a modern home, office, or regional gallery collection, Reflections in Ochre & Blue offers both aesthetic satisfaction and long-term investment potential. It is a painting that rewards repeated viewing revealing new depths, textures, and emotional tones each time the light hits its surface.
