You may remember a smaller version of this painting that I did last December. I was so excited about that painting (see it in this post) and I knew right then I wanted to do a larger version.
Then, for the last 3 months, I've been painting portraits. My abstracts have taken a bit of a back seat while I got my beautiful goddesses out of my head and onto canvas. But this painting still haunted me and as soon as my portrait pieces were ready for the Easter exhibition I knew I had time for it.
Going back to painting abstract landscapes after months of portraits is so freeing. I love painting these. They are so relaxing and they're my meditation. It feels like I don't really do anything, the brush just seems to know what to do.
Bridge 2 is part of a series of paintings that are my continual search for capturing the landscape around my home in Central Otago, New Zealand. You can view this series in my portfolio.
