Huge Prairie Landscape Painting - Far and Away

Far and Away

acrylic on canvas, 30x40 inches

One of the things I love most about painting abstracts, like this huge prairie landscape painting, is creating a sense of depth and distance.  With this piece, I got to work with some interesting colours I hadn't paid much attention to before.  

Whenever I paint using grey, I usually reach for some sort of blue to create the highs and lows.  But with this piece, I was so focused on using an earthtone palette, that I reached for yellows and browns instead to mix my sky colours and discovered that there are other, perhaps more beautiful greys in the universe, to paint with!

Abstract Landscape Painting - Meadow

Meadow

14x18 inches, acrylic on canvas

This abstract landscape painting of a meadow was actually painted around the same time as Car Ride and Brush Fire.  You might notice that a similar palette was used, unlike yesterday's pale rendition of Sand and Sea.

This burnt orange colour has always been one of my favourites.  And I think the addition of the mossy green is what makes it feel like a meadow, perhaps in autumn, when the fog lies low in the field.
