Abstract Birch Tree Painting - Ghost Wood III

Ghost Wood III

18x36 inches, acrylic on canvas

This is the third in a series of abstract birch tree paintings.  Each time I embark on a new version, I choose a different colour palette.  This time I chose earthy shades of browns and green with a bit of gray and yellow thrown into the mix.  What I didn't expect, were the trees to also be in earthtones.  In the previous two versions, as well as a commission, they had all been white.  They are representing birch trees after all.

But as I worked on the forest, I noticed some strokes looking more like main trees.  So I played with this idea, and whole forest of slightly off-white (sometimes really off-white) trees came to be.  Painted wet on wet these trees mingled generously with the underpainting to create quite a unique expanse of forest.

I love it when this happens!

Huge Abstract Painting - Earth Song

Earth Song

30x30 inches, acrylic on canvas

Earth Song seemed like an appropriate name for this huge abstract painting because of all the warm earth tones.  To me this seems like a pre-dawn landscape.  There's a glimmer of sun on the horizon giving everything a golden glow, yet the sun has not yet made an appearance.  It seems to me so quiet and peaceful.  I can almost feel the cool air on my skin.

Along with my love of landscape, comes a love of weather, of changing seasons, and times of day.  To capture the mood of a place is something I always strive for; it's what makes painting worthwhile.
