Update
On the Rocks, 40x30, acrylic
Well I couldn't leave the last one alone so I thought I would post the updated version. I am happier with this one. My main aim is to capture a sense of the place and to try to convey the rugged beauty of it. I try to keep in mind the importance of interesting shapes and to keep them as simple as possible. I find it exciting to anticipate the next painting and all the possibilities. This painting on a textured ground was interesting I may play around with it some more.

Hi Amanda, as a matter of fact I like both versions of the painting and I would have a hard time to decide which one was better. The texture really adds to the painting. I think I'm going to dug up my acrylics again to give them a try again. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow! I LOVE it. I think the grass you added in the rocks and then the lighter lavender in the rock shadows is brilliant! It's full of motion and just glows!
ReplyDeleteI love the rocks, the cool reflective light at the end of the main rock is very good.I coulnt tell you which one of the 2 paintings I prefer, they are both good.
ReplyDeleteIt is so real !!! Waw !!! Like the wind on the trees.
