Detour #1


I've been exploring the Patea landscape in a fairly abstract way again. Our local landscape never fails to bring my joy. There are two new paintings in this on-going series, and I have called this one "Detour #1" because in order to see the cliffs I have to take a considerable detour on the way home from work.

This has lots of solid gritty texture, and layers of dry-brushed paint for real atmospheric depth. 4x8" in acrylics on gallery-wrap canvas. For sale on Etsy.

Great abstract, Cath.
You know that title brings to mind many sorts of interpretations,,,,I like that.(life often has surprise detours)
This has great depth, and texture,,,and of course I love the earthy colors.

Like these paintings Cath, the strength in them and the solidity of the forms. And i always like the touch of dark (black?).
