Pisguah Farmlands 10" x 11"

My first attempt a a semi-abstract landscape. It's acrylic on paper. I found the process to be extremely intriguing. I sure used a lot of paint.

Eggs in Space 10" x 12"

I need to think of a more professional sounding name for this one. Any ideas? Again, acrylic on paper from a workshop this last weekend.
I am really excited to try moving my landscape painting toward abstraction. I'd like the viewer to be able to participate in interpreting the scene.

Above and Below 10" x 11"

We used acrylic paints on paper. I'm not accustomed to using acrylics but they seem really great for this layering process.

Heading Out 10" x 11"

I took an abstract painting workshop this weekend at Oregon Art Supply with Zoe Cohen. It was an enjoyable and thought provoking experience.

Trail by the River 8" x 8"

I had a little plein air piece that I used to paint this one inside. I'm liking Instagram these days and have started posting there. Unfortunately, the colors I get with my phone are not accurate. So I'll probably continue to photograph with my camera.

Quiet Day in the Hay Field 18" x 22"

I decided the value of the mountains needed to be lighter. I think it's finished now.

Quiet Day in the Hay Field 18" x 22"

I grayed the color of the grass and its shadow. I let it sit for a few days but the pink of the clouds still seemed wrong. So today I worked on the clouds. I'm still not sure.

I did this painting several years ago but was unhappy with the colors so decided recently to rework it. I had hoped to put the original and to 2 following versions in one post but can't seem to fit them on so I'll do a post for each one.
