“Mount Conner & Sandhills” – Original Painting by Stanley Johns (Australian, active 1980s–90s)
A sweeping view of Australia’s outback comes to life in this striking original painting by Stanley (Stan) Johns, whose landscapes capture the dramatic geology, vast skies, and earthy color palettes of Central Australia. This piece features Mount Conner—the massive, flat-topped monolith often mistaken for Uluru—set against rolling sandhills and warm desert light.
Stanley Johns was active through the 1980s and 1990s, known for painting iconic Australian locations in acrylic and oil on board. His work frequently depicts regions such as Uluru, Coorong, Corroboree Rock, the Blue Mountains, and other landmarks across the Northern Territory and South Australia. His paintings appear periodically in regional auctions and galleries. This painting is one of two original works by Stanley Johns we currently have in the shop—the companion piece, “Ayers Rock Sunrise,” is available separately. Displayed together, the two form a beautifully balanced diptych of Australia’s desert scenery.
Medium: Acrylic on panel

A wonderful opportunity to bring the warmth, depth, and atmosphere of the Australian outback into your collection—whether on its own or paired with the companion Uluru painting.
