I love working with colour, tone and shapes. Starting off with blocks of colour, I paint in broad expressive strokes, then stand back and see what emerges to me. Refining as I go, I add in lines and different tones to create a harmonious abstract landscape. With this artwork I used more subdued colours, and tried to steer away from the blues and greens that I usually favour.
Colour choices might include muted earth tones mixed with bright colours—ochres, siennas, and burnt umber mixed in with bold reds and greens.
This approach blends geometric abstraction with tonal modulation, capturing the essence of a landscape, inviting viewers to engage with the emotion and space suggested by the distant lake and surrounding terrain.
