Abstract Ocean Painting (Seascape) - The Red Sea

The Red Sea

12x24 inches, acrylic on canvas

This abstract ocean painting (seascape), The Red Sea, was one of those paintings that just came out of nowhere.  Sometimes I get an idea for a composition and if I have a canvas in the right size already prepped, there is little time for hesitation.  I just grab it and go.

Sometimes I find the most interesting works of art manifests in this way.  

I have been very drawn to passionate colours of late, hot pinks and oranges, fuschias and dark purples.  So those are the colours that find their way onto my palette and onto canvas.  It's irrelevant to me that the sea is a lovely bright magenta.  Any true expressionist would say, 'This is how I felt when I was painting.'  An interesting concept.  I didn't exactly feel magenta.  But it does make an interesting colour sea.

Abstract Beach Painting - Sunset Beach

Sunset Beach

24x36 inches, acrylic on canvas

This abstract beach painting called Sunset Beach is one of those paintings that happened quite by accident.  I had originally created something different, but wasn't happy with it.  So I decided to introduce a new colour, to spice it up a bit.  Then I added another and another, until it became what it is.  

I love it when that happens!

This piece has vigorous strokes of texture in a very thick paint creating wonderful complex colour relationships, especially between the yellows, oranges and turquoises.

Abstract Landscape Painting in Purple with Full Moon - A Moonlit Night

A Moonlit Night

12x24 inches, acrylic on canvas

This abstract landscape painting in purple with a full moon is one of those fantasy landscapes that takes me away to places where fairy tales come true.  To me there is a magical quality to the pale mauve moon, and sweeping hills.  Everything is glowing, just a little bit, and the stars are out.

This piece was painted with a multitude of colours that blend beautifully into the curves of the hills creating lovely complex colour relationships.  This is why I paint.  To play with colour...  enjoy...

Abstract Birch Tree Forest Painting - Ghost Wood II

Ghost Wood II

 18x36 inches, acrylic on canvas

This is another version of my abstract birch tree forest painting in my Ghost Woods series.  I have been painting birch trees since my journey in painting began.  Each new phase of interpretting their beauty takes me to new places. 

Painting birch trees in this abstract style is just another exciting adventure along the way.  I absolutely love creating with a painting knife, the room for play and textural interest is immense.  Couple that with my love of colour and you can figure out why this composition is fast becoming a series.
