Abstract Landscape Painting - Over Hill and Dale

Over Hill and Dale

12x24 inches, acrylic on canvas

This abstract landscape painting reminds me of my time in Ireland.  I had never seen such hilly country before.  And the roads through those hills were so windy and narrow that you really had to pay attention to where you were going.  Stops were frequently made to take photographs and allow livestock, mostly sheep, to cross the road.

It was late fall when we took a drive through the north country and over to Gallway in the west.  The bracken that covered the hills was a dark rusty red against a multitude of greens.  What a beautiful place, wild and windswept.  It was important for me to live for a time in the land of my ancestors, to walk the land they farmed and breathe the same sea air.

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: Lake Weather

Lake Weather

16x20 inches, acrylic on canvas

This is an abstract landscape painting of a stormy sky over a lake that I painted on my birthday this week.  I always seem to paint something interesting on my birthday, or on the day before or after.  It's as if a certain, more creative or free energy, is available to me at that period of time.  So I love to experiment with that energy to see what emerges.
