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.

Abstract Prairie Landscape Painting - Harvest

Harvest

24x30 inches, acrylic on canvas

The colours for this abstact prairie landscape painting were pulled from memory.  Growing up, my family travelled extensively throughout eastern Canada, weekends here and there, camping, cottaging, and the infamous family roadtrips where destinations were chosen based purely on how far we could drive each day following a gas station road map.

So much of that terrain was farmland, endless golden fields that tipped slowly up to a pale summer sky, dirt roads and dust.  Fun times.

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.

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.

Abstract Prairie Landscape Painting: Cross Wind

Cross Wind

12x24 inches, acrylic on canvas

This abstract landscape painting was inspired by prairie fields in spring.  Pulled again to use strong yellows and yellow greens, I wanted to work in an abstract texture that would be reminiscent of grass weighted down by a long winter's snow.  This is a field I remember walking in when I was a kid, smell of wet earth, mud on my boots, buzz of insects, trees on the horizon that I never seemed to reach.

Again I've photographed this painting to show the organicness of the raw edges in keeping with the feeling of the entire piece.
