Acrylic on Canvas Paper
This is another crack at that landscape that I was going to do more as an abstract, just to work on colors and shapes. I started out with a nice red stripe, then the yellow, the green and blue. But something happened and I forgot myself and 30 minutes later I had become obsessed with tiny unimportant details and had ruined the abstract completely.
I don't really know how it happened. Maybe because the page was so big, maybe the brush too small. Hmmm.
I will try one more time manana.
Boy I can empathize with that situation! Exactly what I've been doing all day. Tweaking detail and losing the point. This has a nice feel to it. I like the way the mid-ground slash of red pulls me in to the tree line.
ReplyDeleteI like the mountains in the distance. I am working on a landscape right now and boy are we in the same boat! Majoring in minors again. Not easy to leave things alone when you think you are there….
ReplyDeleteI liked this landscape very much, especially the color-scheme and the use of brush strokes.
