This is a painting of a blooming prickly pear I did on wood for a friend who lived in the Southwest. It’s done in acrylic and India ink. Dated 2017. Visit my SKColeArt Etsy site for more beautiful acrlyic paintings and florals.
More Landscape Work
23 JulI painted this English landscape in acrylic on birchwood cradle. The subject matter, depicting a canal in the town of Castleton, Derbyshire, is from a photo that was sent to me by an English friend. I still need to do some work on the right side. It’s a bit more “done” than I had originally intended, but probably that’s a function of the rigid wooden surface rather than the usual, “springier” canvas surface.
New Work — Yosemite
22 JulI’ve been inspired to do some new landscape paintings by my recent vacation trip to Yosemite National Park. Below is “Yosemite Falls, Summer 2017″ in acrylic on 16″ by 20” stretched canvas. This style of painting is a lot looser and “brush-y” than my usual style, but I’m liking it very much. What do you think?
I plan to post this collection soon at my Etsy shop when they are completed. Watch this space for further info.
