Abstract Landscape Painting - Summer Outing


16x16 inches, acrylic on canvas
click here to purchase $149

This abstract landscape painting is a little more abstract than most of my landscape pieces.  And because of that, I think it can take you more places than a more traditional abstract landscape.  

In it I see hot summer sidewalks, sparkling swimming pools, white hot sunshine, and green grass.  It becomes a melange of possibilities.  I'm sure the next person will see something completely different.  And that's it's beauty...

Abstract Landscape Painting - The Dream


The Dream
20x24 inches, acrylic on canvas

I believe there is a landscape in all of us, a place we go when we go inward to reflect.  It could be the landscape of your childhood home, or a grandparents farm.  Mine is a field.  

I grew up with this field, so it has many incarnations, many moods and changes through many years and seasons of weather.  Sometimes I dream of fields where I can see for vast distances.  And sometimes I paint fields from memory, from dreams.  This is one of those paintings.

Abstract Sister Paintings - Panning for Gold and Precious Metal


Panning for Gold and Precious Metal
12x12 inches each, acrylic on canvas

These two abstact paintings were not originally conceived as a pair.  I simply reached for colours that I love to paint with and went to work.  When they were complete, I set them side by side to dry and was astounded to see how well the colours from one seemed to float over and blend into to the colours of the other.  So I am calling them sister paintings.  

Created from the same building blocks, they share a special bond, one completing the other as only sisters can.

Abstract Landscape Painting - After the Rain


After the Rain
8x8 inches, acrylic on canvas

This is the second mini abstract landscape painting to arrive in my shop.  I don't always know what they're going to be when I start, but there are guidelines.  

Lately I've been obsessed with water, any kind of water, lake, sea, or ocean, and horizon lines involving water.  So there's always some kind of sky, some kind of foreground, and you guessed it, a water line creating a horizon.

Then I play with it, thinking of all the watery places I've been.
