Abstract Panorama Landscape Painting - Into the Light


Into the Light
12x36 inches, acrylic on canvas

The idea for this abstract panorama landscape painting came very quickly and was executed with much the same speed.  It helps to have a number of canvases prepped and ready to go so that I can grab one when I feel the urge.  I just chose my colours and began.

I felt this long narrow panoramic style would perfectly suit what I was trying to achieve.  I wanted to show a great expanse of land, and to feel as if I was coming at it from a great distance over desert or prairie, toward the light.

Abstract Landscape Painting - Ghost Wood



Ghost Wood
18x36, acrylic on canvas

Having taken a conscious turn from landscape painting to abstract less than a year ago, I find it interesting to see these two world come together.  This is one of a few I have done in recent weeks that have melded landscape with my style of abstract.

It is also interesting to see that the impact of landscape has not yet escaped my vision.  A lover of painting birch trees, I am keen on persuing this 'ghost wood' composition further to see what happens. 

See you in the woods!

Abstract Painting - Convergence


Convergence
24x24 inches, acrylic on canvas

Before I started painting, I spent many years getting flashes of colour and images of paintings in my mind, mostly of the colour red and of very thick paint.  I have always been attracted to colour, but in the years leading up to the time when I first put paint to canvas, my feelings toward colour became very intense.  And it was because of these intense feelings that I developed a desire to paint.

So I find it quite interesting to have finally painted something in red and with quite thick paint, as my colour palette usually hovers around the more landscape colours of green and blue, sometimes golden yellow.  And this painting is definately not a landscape, even in the most abstract sense, which was my original intension when this journey began.
