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.

Mini Abstract Landscape Painting - Sunset


Sunset
8x8 inches, acrylic on canvas

This was the most fun I've had in a long time, 8 inches side to side, just pure fun with colour, and it looks like a sunset, well, kind of.  

I have this things about blue and orange.  I love to use them together to see what happens. I love all of their shades from slate blue to turquoise to robins egg blue, and every shade of orange from the yellowest to the reddest.  I love their vibrancy.

I stared a new section in my Etsy shop, and this is my first listing of a mini abstract landscape painting.  More to come...

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.
