The rewards of an evening walk. The best skies always seem to happen between 6 and 7 o’clock. Especially when there’s late sun. Then rain. Then sun again ⛅️ “Late Walk, South Coast”, 100X100cm oil on linen. #landscapepainting #richardclaremont #sydneyartist #oilpaint #thickpaint
It’s been a fabulous 3 weeks of workshops & painting around the Shellharbour foreshore. This view was the subject of one of my demo paintings. “Day at the Harbour”, 61X61cm, oil on board. #landscapepainting #landscapepaintings #richardclaremont #sydneyartist #oilpaint
I never tire of this view, as evening sets in, heading cross country and back to our mountain cottage… “Western Plains”. #landscapepainting #landscapepaintings #richardclaremont #centralwestnsw #dubbo #sydneyartist #oilpaint
Enjoying the lazy days of late summer. The touch of an afternoon breeze and a passing shower on the horizon… “Updraft”, 35X45cm, oil on board. #landscapepainting #landscapepaintings #richardclaremont #sydneyartist #oilpaint #thickpaint #coastallandscape #australianstories
A favourite park in a favourite town… with a favourite tree! “Jacarandas at Kiama”, 35X45cm, oil on board. #landscapepainting #richardclaremont #jacarandas #kiama #sydneyartist #oilpaint
A late drive in the country. At dusk, the transformation… a time past and then, a new path ahead. “A Promising Land”, 61X75cm, oil on board. #landscapepainting #landscapepaintings #richardclaremont #sydneyartist #oilpaint #thickpaint
It’s a great joy staying in our mountain cottage, but I do enjoy the trips down the other side where the skies are open and the land is wide… “Yellow Light Bursting Onto an Open Plain”, 25X37cm, oil on yupo. ##landscapepainting #sydneyartist #oilpaint #thickpaint
I just love it when morning begins with an explosion of colour, reflecting & fragmenting the elements of cloud and sky. “Dawn Channel”, 50X60cm, oil on board. #landscapepainting #sydneyartist #oilpaint #thickpaint #australianstories #paintingisfun #southcoastnsw #pleinairpainter
Living on the coast, I’m always amazed at what a profoundly green & blue planet we live on. Even in satellite photos from space… there it is. The green & blue planet. Some days I am nearly blinded by it! “South Coast After Summer Rain”, 25X37cm, oil on yupo. #sydneyartist
End of day in the Central West. Green, gold, orange, purple. Tiny cloud flecks magnified over the land… “Afterglow”, 85X85cm, oil on polycotton. #landscapepainting #sydneyartist #oilpaint #thickpaint #bathurst #australianstories #paintingisfun #centralwestnsw #pleinairpainter
Some sunrises are really worth getting up for… “The First Breakers”, 25X37cm, oil on yupo. #landscapepainting #richardclaremont #sydneyartist #oilpaint #thickpaint #coastallandscape #paintingisfun #southcoastnsw #sydneygalleries #travellingartist #dailypainting
It’s been a great start to the year with these 4 paintings going to new homes in Australia and the US. Bon voyage, kiddos! 😁🙏🏻 #landscapepainting #landscapepaintings #richardclaremont #sydneyartist #oilpaint #thickpaint
I always look forward to the drive down the other side of the Mountains where the western plains open up. At dusk, the countryside is wide & open, the skies are big again… “The Orange Cloud”, 25X37cm, oil on yupo. #landscapepainting #bathurst #sydneyartist #oilpaint #thickpaint
There’s nothing quite like mountain streams after rain. With the deluge we had last week all the creeks are full and cascading... “Upstream”, 45X60cm, oil on board. #landscapepainting #leura #katoomba #katoombafalls #bluemountainsaustralia #sydneyartist #oilpaint #paintingisfun
When the sun eventually breaks through, the slanting light creates such beautiful elongated shadows. One of my favourite walks… “Leura Golf Course”, 35X45cm, oil on board. #landscapepainting #leura #bluemountainsaustralia #shadows #sydneyartist #oilpaint #thickpaint
This is one of my favourite local beaches. Accessible only by a steep track lined with gum trees. It gets a pretty decent surf break too from an offshore reef… not for the faint hearted! “The Boneyard”, 61X75cm, oil on board. #landscapepainting #theboneyard #kiama #sydneyartist
These are 4 of the 5 paintings that are off to new homes this week. To Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and California. My paintings are doing more travelling at the moment than I’ve done in the last 3 years! 😂 ✈️ #landscapepaintings #gippsland #sydneyartist #oilpaint #coastallandscape
Great memories of driving through Victoria on perfect afternoons. Seeping light which spills over the horizon and floods into the valleys. “Golden Days, South Gippsland”, 85X85cm, oil on polycotton. #landscapepainting #southgippsland #countryvictoria #sydneyartist #oilpaint
As we are being advised to batten down the hatches for another deluge this weekend, I thought this might be fitting. “South Coast With Heavy Rain”, 35X45cm, oil on board. #landscapepaintings #outdoorpainting #sydneyartist #thickpaint #coastallandscape #australianstories
One good thing about La Niña is that it’s pretty inspiring material from a painter’s perspective ⛈ “Sunshine After Rain”, 22X30cm, oil on yupo. #landscapepaintings #richardclaremont #landscapeartists #artlandscape #outdoorpainting #outdoorart #sydneyartist #oilpaint #thickpaint

A new painting based on a study I did last year… “The Road Home”, 61X75cm, oil on board. #landscapepaintings #richardclaremont #landscapeartists #artlandscape #landscapepainters #paintinglandscape #outdoorpainting #sydneyartist #artfordesigners
It’s been a great week with these 3 paintings finding new homes. The life of a painter can be a lonely one, so to connect through my art is a wonderful feeling. 😁🙏🏻 #landscapepaintings #richardclaremont #landscapeartists #artlandscape #landscapepainters #sydneyartist #oilpaint twitter.com/RClaremont/sta…
