"Wintry Mix" Contemporary Abstract Landscape Painting

12/27/2018

0 Comments

 
contemporary abstract landscape painting
"Wintry Mix" © Melody Cleary 2018

Working on this painting I began with the warmish colors of fall and then later the 
addition of the blue and bluish white conjured a feeling of winter frost and ice.  Thus, a wintry mix.

22 x 15 inches, acrylic mixed media on 140# smooth watercolor paper.

$300 unframed.

If you love forests, you'll love these four 6 x 6" panels that, combined, make up one landscape image.
They can also be separated and mounted horizontally or vertically.  Or individually.
These are particular favorites of mine and the set is priced at $300, unframed.

Please contact me if you have an interest in purchasing them from my studio.

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.

Activating the substrate

Delving into abstract I have learned to 'activate' the canvas, paper, or board which helps greatly
to just 'get going' and get past that blank surface.  No preconceived notions....just being free.  This, itself,
creates some wonderful design surprises when I zoom in to the piece at this exploratory stage.  
Exciting!!

Abstract Landscape - "In Spring" by Melody Cleary

This composition was based on a small black and white intuitive study.  The marks were random
but somehow a landscape image always comes out of me.  I'm very excited about this new way
of creating paintings that are alive with my personal marks.

"In Spring"
Acrylic mixed media on 140# watercolor paper
10.5 x 21 inches
$300 unframed

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.

These are 12x12 flat wood panels and I'm trying a new tool called a Catalyst silicone wedge to
​apply all of the acrylic paint.  Sometimes I also use a bristle brush to do some soft 
​blending.  Just experimenting to see the effects I can achieve.
