a Sunday Afternoon Painting

1/1/2016

 
I made a few paintings, all on top of eachother.
Picture
I like how it started out, gold and blue. I'll explore this composition again.
PictureI added the mountains, trees, everything. I was in my flow, remembering a breathtaking setting on a beautiful camping trip in Jasper National Park. Fun to paint, but it didn't communicate how I was feeling.

Picture
so I added layers.
Picture
rub, daub, sponge, scratch, brush
Picture
more layers, more texture.
Picture
the finished piece. it says what I wanted to say. hopefully somebody speaks the same language ;)
"I Hear the River", an acrylic painting on stretched canvas. This piece speaks of the restorative and ever changing beauty of nature. While drinking in the scene that inspired the painting, I thought upon the vast spaces we enjoy in Canada and our responsibility to approach the land and its resources with respect, gratitude, wisdom and generosity.                                      (22" x 30")

    Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am excited to share what is going on in my art practice, one project or thought at a time. To take a look at my past work in the Yukon, click on:
