Abstract Landscape Paintings
A collection of colorful contemporary landscape paintings.
Introduction
These contemporary landscapes are gestures of color and the beauty found in nature. My goal is to portray landscapes in an inspiring manner so that they give you a sense of uplifting familiarity. The more abstract the landscape the more it is formed in spirit and spontaneity right on the canvas and not from an actual place. I try to capture an essence and bring a feeling onto the canvas. I enjoy exploring in an exaggeration of color, forms, and texture.
" Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." ~ Albert Einstein
Painting Technique
Acrylic Paintings: When painting landscapes I enjoy the texture and rich colors that acrylic brings. I often add a glaze medium gloss mixture to my paint and rework many layers of paint. I also like to use gesso, sand, or iridescent medium as I exaggerate the colors and build up thick layers of texture in the process.

"If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen." ~ Henry David Thoreau
