 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.

Trees are all around me here in the Portland area. Suggestions of them appear in much of
my work. I can't help it! Their forms are so beautiful! Each is 6 x 6 inches on watercolor paper; acrylic. $40 each, no mat, no frame. Plus shipping. Message me at the Contact page. MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS  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.

MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS AND PRINTS  Spring Thaw © Melody Cleary 2016 I worked to strengthen the composition on this one by adding darker values and some warm yellows
to help direct the eyes to the center of interest. There are rectangular pieces of papers that are collaged onto the canvas surface prior to painting and one strip has some interesting alpha characters which you can see just up from the bottom. "Spring Thaw" is available. Contact me. 18x24x1.5 gallery canvas. Mixed media MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, NATURE AND ABSTRACT PAINTINGS
I've picked up the palette knife again to work on two 12 x 16 canvases that had paint on them
and were unfinished. So the palette knife with some creamy acrylic with gel medium is a great way to get coverage. Both pieces will have the warmer green tones.

I'm going for an impressionistic feel perhaps leaning a bit into the abstract for my nature paintings. I haven't used reds/pinks much in my former work so this is fun. The photo does not reflect the saturation of the orange or the violet blues, but it's difficult to get all colors represented perfectly. MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE, WATERSCAPE AND NATURE PAINTINGS  I haven't done a larger painting in a while
due to shoulder issues, and have to work for short periods if I do. This is an 18x24 abstract floral I'm working on - happy with it so far but it is 'in process'. MELODY CLEARY CONTEMPORARY ABSTRACT PAINTINGS  Late Bloomer © Melody Cleary 10 x 10 x 7/8 inch acrylic on canvas.
$150 unframed. There is some nice textural quality to this painting. MELODY CLEARY - CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE AND NATURE PAINTINGS |
