Autumn landscapes: Baltic Blue 1, 2

I’m shamelessly neglecting my #Inktober duties.

With so many disasters both natural and manmade in the news right now, I wanted to pull away briefly, and post two old-but-fun pieces inspired by Autumn.

‘Baltic Blue 1 and 2’ are large acrylic paintings on canvas, approx 22″x36″, done around 2009-2010. While pure fantasy, they were inspired by the myriad small islands around Copenhagen, where I’ve never been, but had seen in a friend’s photos of an enchanting autumn trip.

Imagine mother-of-pearl skies, rich blue water, and vibrantly-colored farmhouses.

Materials: acrylic paint applies with brush and brayer, iridescent and interference acrylic paint, stainless steel paint.
