new abstract landscapes

After weeks of painting watercolour landscapes, I woke up on Monday and my abstract muse was back. Yippee!

I started by priming a number of canvas boards. I'm working on these because I love working on a hard surface that I can push and scrub on without worrying about damage. And because they're easy and safe to post anywhere in the world.

I'm still working on abstracts that reflect the dry Central Otago landscape. There's so much beauty in the warm reds, oranges, golds and yellows that contrast so wonderfully with the blue's of the lakes and mountains and the big, big skies.

First one done -

"It Never Ends"

And onto the next one. This one done on a much cloudier day. It felt like it was going to rain, but it hasn't yet.

And completed -
