I tried several approaches, but nothing was working for me. So, I just started playing with paint and my palette knife. I was envisioning a sunset over the landscape, choosing colors that "felt" right for me.
You can see how deep the canvas is in this pic. I actually love these big clunky canvases on shelves rather than walls, and I like the feel of the rough clunky paint.
All in all, it was a fun painting day.

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Abstract Landscape Painting | Contemporary Art | Palette Knife Painting | HUES by Carol Schiff | 18x36x1.5" Oil
I wanted to do an abstract landscape in a larger size than I have worked with in the past. I remembered driving through the fields of Georgia just as the sun broke over the horizon one morning, and decided to paint based on that memory.
I enjoyed the experience of painting on a larger scale and tried hard to keep the freshness of my smaller abstracts.
We used to say that photos never lie, but as you know, that is not true these days. I just returned from a short trip to New York City with my daughter and grandson. He had lots of fun taking photos that lie. This is one of my favorites.....
We also walked by a sports show being filmed on TV. That is my grandson in the background, making like the circus strong man. Hope they didn't mind!

WILDFLOWERS, ACRYLIC, 20X24, SOLD
This is definitely not my usual painting! A few years ago, I took a month long workshop with Fritz VanEeden. Fritz is a very well known and respected artist from Holland who has been living in our town at least part of the year. I was fortunate enough to work with him for over a month, 3 days a week, for 4-5 hours. Fritz is obsessed, and if he is awake, he must have a paintbrush in his hand! He is also a wonderful man. I do enjoy this type of painting, but I just couldn't get the hang of painting out of my head. So this is my one and only true abstract!Now, my varnishing question got several replies, both here and on facebook, and the winner is......retouch varnish! I have run to my art supply store to grab a can and now feel much more confident in my technique. So, thank you all very much for your replies!

"Humble Beginnings", Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin
"Humble Beginnings"
This piece was created because of my Brother. He's followed me along on this "journey" and has seen and commented on many of my pieces. He told me that I should paint "BIG". This painting is a result of that effort! It seemed like it took me forever. I stressed over it, then enjoyed it, then questioned everything about it. This is the end result.
I thought about this painting as a "beginning" of sorts. By that I thought about symbolizing a young couple starting their own family. In another new beginning of sorts, It could symbolize a new beginning as an "empty nester". Both of those scenarios are big, huge, sometimes scary, unknown adventures. Both are humbling, full of learning and experiencing a new season in life. For a new family, it's full of anticipation and expectation. For a family with children leaving home, it could be grieving and figuring out how to parent in a different way. It's hard to watch your babies leave the nest and make a new life on their own. The couple expecting a new baby has to learn how to remain a couple when times are hard and their focus is no longer solely on each other. The couple letting go of grown children have to relearn how to be a couple, yet still find their own individual paths. Needless to say, it's complicated.
Close up of Leaves and Texture Detail
Close up of Nest
The nest is made from Pine Needles and a stencil. It was not easy gluing all of these tiny little needles on to the canvas, but I sure do like how it turned out.
Detail of the Aspen Trees
Even though life is complicated and there are different seasons, we can always look forward to new beginnings. I've learned that even when things come to an end, it signifies the beginning of something else. We just have to be open to whatever is next. Life is always an adventure, so let's learn to enjoy the journey and see where it takes us!
This painting was created with painted papers, stencils, pine needles, vintage sheet music, and of course, layers and layers of paint! It measures 36X36 and is on gallery wrapped canvas. It is finished with a resin coating, which makes the colors "pop" and eliminates the need for framing. This piece comes ready to hang.
