Lupine and Indian Paintbrush

"Lupine and Indian Paintbrush"

Watercolor on 300lb. paper

Painting Size 7.5" x 7.5"

I have been doing exercises in loosening up this week.

The following are a few Semi-Abstract Landscapes.

These came about because I was getting frustrated with my landscape paintings,

they all felt too "manufactured" to me. 

So I started pouring paint down wet paper.

I happened upon an interesting interaction between

 Mayan Blue Genuine and Quinacridone Deep Gold paint...

can you pick it out in these paintings?

"Storm Glow"

Painting size:  4.5" x 6.5"

"Rural Stillness"

Painting Size:  4.5" x 6.5"

"Beside Still Waters"

Painting size:  3" x 4.5"

"Reflection on Golden Pond"

There are more...

These were really exciting to do and I think it's a technique I will continue to use.
