I’m influenced by Japanese paintings, I guess, by the look of these two. I do like doing subtle brush strokes and for this I mostly used the socket filler brush and a fan shadow brush.

Dark grey, lime, turquoise fantasy landscape acrylic painting
Continuing my experiments with a painted grey background this fantasy landscape. I have no other words for it except that the marks are mesmerizing remind me of fine gold jewel like trees and a turquoise blue martian (perhaps) moon.
When looking at this its surprisingly easy to bring more images to from your imagination as you try to fathom out the landscape that might exist in the hinterland.
I feel I’m getting better at adding vertical and horizontal lines which is a real departure from the usual sweep curves across the page.
Grey rose gold in fantasy acrylic landscape painting
I’m calling this collection the fantasy acrylic landscape.
From an overnight thought of contemplating what painting would I have if I had a metal tarrarium and industrial chic furniture with rose gold metal legs.
So I created a collection of seven pieces within this theme. I was surprised to see how each piece appears to fit together nicely. Bit like the kind of wallpaper you’d see on 60 minute makeover.
Fan Brush Stroke Painting II: Inspired by M
These verticals, I think are curious brush strokes. And I am starting to call these pieces the Missoni influence. Since 1980’s I’ve loved the Italian knitwear designer’s collection.

I have to admit that Missoni does come second to my love of everything designers Guild or maybe they come third if I consider Andrew Martin. More on that in a later post.
You know I once bought a lot of Missoni fabric (of an amount I could afford) from the Shepherd’s Bush Fabric shop where all the fashion students go to buy for their cloth for their end of year shows.
Love their new collection for 2018 HERE
I digress. So here is the rest.
Blue green landscape painting and floral attempt
So I had a go at doing an abstract landscape. I imagined a foreground sky and middle ground all based on my imagination. No I wasn’t in a poppy field but I think i was conjuring deep pink red tulips and buds of poppies. I’m still undecided about this one. Though I’m a bit pleased I did something that resembles a flower slightly. I was encouraged recently when watched a channel 4 ( or was it a more four) program that spoke of American painters of the 19th and early 20th century. Watching their work I began to feel comforted to see that my brushstrokes were similar to what has gone before there. Sorry I cant remember the artist’s name. It will come……
Anyway looking at this work, I think I still need to learn about making finer marks for stems and the earth. Nevertheless, let me know what you think.
