Abstract Beach Painting - Sunset Beach

Sunset Beach
24x36 inches, acrylic on canvas

This abstract beach painting called Sunset Beach is one of those paintings that happened quite by accident.  I had originally created something different, but wasn't happy with it.  So I decided to introduce a new colour, to spice it up a bit.  Then I added another and another, until it became what it is.  

I love it when that happens!

This piece has vigorous strokes of texture in a very thick paint creating wonderful complex colour relationships, especially between the yellows, oranges and turquoises.

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.
