Every so often, I like to play with paints and ideas like a child in a sandbox. Today I did some small plein air paintings, experimenting with different styles and ideas. This abstract landscape is based totally on design and composition. The idea was to support an energetic design with bold contrasts, adventurous colors, and strong lines. I looked for elements in my yard along the brook, and arranged them for a dynamic composition. I examined the color of each large section of the landscape, and selected a pure, higher-chroma color to represent that segment of the painting. The colors are cerulean blue, cobalt violet, cobalt blue, and raw sienna, plus waterproof black India ink applied with a brush.
