Abstract Landscape Painting of Tundra


Tundra
20x24 inches, acrylic on canvas

These are some of my favorite colours and favorite colour combinations.  So to have them all together in this abstract landscape painting of the tundra is just a complete joy to me.  

I never really set out to paint any specific landscape.  I find it more interesting if I just start with colours I love and go from there.  When it's done, if it speaks to me of a certain landscape, I will focus on that in the title.  I absolutely love the vast wilderness of the Canadian north and the rich a vibrant colours that seem to float across a seemingly barren land, so that's where this painting takes me.  But this painting can take you anywhere you want to go.

Huge Abstract Landscape Painting - Sunset on the Serengeti


Sunset on the Serengeti
30x40 inches, acrylic on canvas

I wasn't sure what this painting would become when I started it.  I just knew I wanted to work with warm earth tones and that in the end, whatever happened, it would be a huge abstract landscape painting, not only is size but in scope.  

From this vantage point, this abstract can represent a vast array of distances.  It's all in what the viewer brings to it and their interpretation of it when they look at it.  To me it seems like an enormous expanse of flat plain.  So Sunset on the Serengeti seemed appropriate.
