Hill Country Abstract Paintings - The 'Wavy Lines Project'

Over Hill and Dale, 12x24, acrylic on canvas

This was the first painting. At that time, I had no idea it would become a project, or even if, Over Hill and Dale, would be successful.  

Early one Sunday morning I had an idea for a piece.  I had been messing around with a new style of landscape art for about a year or so and thought perhaps I would try to incorporate what I'd learned into what I was currently doing with abstracts.

To my surprise I actually liked it.  Really liked it.  So I listed it in my shop with great enthusiasm.

Hill Country, 18x36, acrylic on canvas

Next time I thought I would go a little bigger with, Hill Country, dark lines almost diminished, but tons of movement and colour gradations, which I found exciting, along with a water element.  It sold within a few days of listing it in my shop.  Happy day!

Having had two successes now, I promptly put it aside for lack of a better reason than there were too many other styles I wanted to explore, and not enough hours in the day to explore them, until...

Hill Country Pasture, 12x24, acrylic on canvas

I was compelled once again to try this style and painted, Hill Country Pasture.  Having been away from it for a while, Hill Country Pasture, brought with it some new ideas:  mountains, a swirlier sky, actual pasture land up there in the hills, and once again the dark lines appeared.  It sold within an hour.

Now that I was incorporating SO many elements I loved:  colour gradation, blending, fluid lines, colour, my goodness, purple and lime green together under a sky that changed from pale green to different shades of blue.  Yes, you guessed it.  What I love most about painting is getting to explore colour relationships.

So, now I just had to do more.

Hill Country Sky, 18x36, acrylic on canvas

So then I painted, Hill Country Sky.  I just love this one.  Not only does it have all of the above elements that I crave to work with in a painting, but now it has the MOON!

Feeling completely unstoppable, I painted the following three pieces in one day.

Hill Country Dusk, 10x20, acrylic on canvas

More mountains...

The Whispering Wind, 8x24, acrylic on canvas

And a triptych.

Stay tuned to see what comes next...  

So far, all of these painting have sold, except for 'Winter Field' (above).
