Abstract Landscape Painting - Interferance


Interferance
12x16 inches, acrylic on canvas

This abstract landscape painting is based on a similar colour palette to Car Ride.  I really enjoyed working with those colours and the sense of distance I think I achieved in both paintings.  

The name for this one came to me while working on the 'sky' section of the piece.  For some reason the colours and the patterns of the strokes reminded me of storms that cause great interferance with electrical devices.

Abstract Landscape Painting - Car Ride


Car Ride
16x20 inches, acrylic on canvas

In keeping with yesterday's post about naming paintings, the name for this particular abstract landscape painting came to me mid-stream.  A bit of an unusual name, that somehow seems to work.  

Growing up, my family often went on long car trips for summer vacation.  I remember sitting in the backseat with my head against the window, watching the landscape whizz by in a blur as we pulled our camper trailer all over Canada.  This painting, and it's blurred lines, somehow reminds me of these trips.  Perhaps this is where my love of abstracting the landscape began...

Abstract Landscape Painting - Brush Fire


Brush Fire
16x20 inches, acrylic on canvas

Something new from the studio!  It's been a while since I painted.  Sometimes life has other plans for me.  However, I'm happy to announce that I have three new paintings to share with you that I will be posting over the next few days.  Today, I will start with this new abstract landscape painting 'Brush Fire'.

I rarely have a plan when I start to paint, mostly I just want to put colour to canvas, and I choose colours based on how I'm feeling at the moment.  So what comes as a result of layers and layers of colour and texture is always a surprise to me.  Sometimes a title will come mid-stream, sometimes it takes hours, even days, before a painting is named.  Today, however, the title was immediate upon completion.  With such a burning orange swath running through the middle, Brush Fire seemed an appropriate choice.
