I'm not really a landscape person. I barely stop in front of most landscape paintings when wandering through a museum. I rarely ooh and aah over landscape work I see online. I've never even considered purchasing a landscape. And yet, I have now painted a landscape, which I love.
Here it is taped to my painting wall:
And now, on the drying rack, with the tape removed:
Things I like about this landscape:
- The gestural feeling — you can really see those brush strokes.
- The monumental nature of the landscape. (Marsden Hartley is one of my favorite painters and his landscapes make me swoon!)
- It's abstract and yet not.
- The looseness I see in it.
- The color palette.
After not paying much attention to landscapes over the years, I think I might be willing to adjust my attention. I would definitely like to play with this kind of gestural abstract landscape painting more.
Here's to trying something new!
Thanks for stopping by!

I think it’s fabulous Julie, I can still see your hand in its style. Did you do it on loose canvas taped to the wall?

when I saw the small pic in the email from bloglovin’ I thought it was a quilt with a stunning border treatment. when I followed the link to your blog I realized my mistake but…the yellow tape and the vari-colored background look great. I hope to use it for inspiration for a quilt border.
