24 x 30 canvas in Process

Continuing from my last post, this is how this painting has progressed so far. I set it in our
open garage to get the outdoor light. It's pretty obvious that it's a painting meant to
resemble water. If you enjoy it and wish to inquire about it, please contact me
at the Contact page. I love to hear any comments.

New work continued

I really liked the version on the left, at this stage, but didn't know how I wanted to proceed. So, facing
the fear of 'wrecking it', I decided to take it in a new direction and added some burnt umber dark
areas. I have two works on paper that helped encourage this step and gave me an idea
of what my goal is. The colors, so far, still work together. Below is the work on paper, still perhaps, unfinished.

New work on the easel

24 x 30 x 1.5 canvas, acrylic. Work in progress.

Trying some new mixed tones to get this canvas reworked and headed in an
inspired direction. I love trees and the addition of those trunks did the trick.
Love the variety of restful greens. Plodding onward.

New Abstract Paintings on Paper, in process

I feel these are a good start. Time to let them rest and ponder the final strokes. I love the color Celadon and
all of the different shades of green that can be achieved by color mixing. These are
11x15" each.

Abstract Landscape - final version

4/11/2017

You can see that I eliminated large black areas since my last post of this piece. However, I left random
black marks to retain the abstracted quality and also to help the eyes move around. At the top, there's now
a calm place for the eyes to rest. Definitely is more light and airy now. I have completed
a companion piece, both 30x30 on canvas. I have submitted these images to a designer for her
client's consideration.
