Abstract Landscape Painting - After the Rain


After the Rain
8x8 inches, acrylic on canvas

This is the second mini abstract landscape painting to arrive in my shop.  I don't always know what they're going to be when I start, but there are guidelines.  

Lately I've been obsessed with water, any kind of water, lake, sea, or ocean, and horizon lines involving water.  So there's always some kind of sky, some kind of foreground, and you guessed it, a water line creating a horizon.

Then I play with it, thinking of all the watery places I've been.

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.

Abstract Landscape Painting - Telegraph


Telegraph
12x12 inches, acrylic on canvas

Now you might be thinking Telegraph is an unusual name of this abstract landscape painting.  And you might be right.  However, when I was painting it, the colour combination somehow reminded me of old photographs of the Canadian prairies, which led to the thought of the vastness of the prairies and how once upon a time communication across vast distances were sent via telegraph.  A bit of a stretch, I know.  But that's how things sometimes work out.
