"Spring in Flux" Contemporary Landscape Painting

5/2/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Spring in Flux, original 15 x 22 on paper, $300 - unframed

​This has an appx 1/2" white border for a total width of 15x22 watercolor paper.

Painted intuitively with juicy acrylics using a silicone spreader - no brush marks.  The new tools
in my toolbox.  Loose pencil or charcoal marks show through lending some surface interest.

Contact me if you have an interest.  Ready for your choice of frame.

During the process, I sometimes use a mat to find more pleasing compositions within the larger work.
These three are examples from today's session.

Pardon for my absence

I haven't posted since October due to neck/arm issues again....and well, the holidays when I get little art accomplished.  November began with me joining artist Nancy Hillis' Studio Journey online workshop to help keep my hand in in a small way.  It's all about ABSTRACTS!!  Each month we are given her 'bundle' or talks, demos, and study exercises focusing on working loose and unplanned....intuitively.  And making your own unique marks....love the mark making.  Good for me that one can go at their own pace.  

Here are some examples of my experimentation.  
So bear with me while I continue pacing myself and experimenting.  Comments on my studies above are welcome.

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.

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.

Abstract Landscape - final version

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.
