Abstracted Landscape Study 10.30.22

A study in greens was the purpose of this exercise.  I like pairing cool and warm greens side by side.  

Melodious

It's back to the birds with this painting of an Australian magpie, an accomplished songbird, apparently, with quite an array of vocalizations.  Having never heard its song, at least I tried to make the painting sing.

Letting Go

I took the opportunity to work through some issues in paint here.  It was cathartic.

Under a Blue Moon

 I had wanted to do a version of this subject on a large panel but didn't have the right format in my inventory, so I did a study instead.  It was a useful experiment.

Wingin' It

Just a quick little free form piece done at the end of an intense painting day.  

Complementary Couple

This is the result of my desire to make a painting with the complementary pairing of reds and greens exclusively.  I chose these two red hollyhocks because they are among my favorites.

Black Heron Study

I started this study months ago, then got distracted and so it went into the timeout zone.  When that happens, sometimes the painting becomes a guinea pig for experimentation.  Such was the case with this one.

Another quick little palette knife study of an imaginary landscape.
