Earth and Water

In this painting there was a more definite divide between the top area and the lower area, and I made the division less strong and merged the two areas more. I was thinking landscape with this, and I had the comment from a friend that it looks like where earth and water meet. That excites me since that is what I was thinking about it, and in the past I have worked with a series called "Water's Edge" which came from the same thought. Maybe my thoughts and paintings are becoming more cohesive!

Abstracted Landscapes

Here are two examples of abstracted landscapes. I can see that I am adding more "busyness" to this newest series "Free Like A Bird" (the second image) but I like both ways of doing paintings - just the bare essence and a busier version too. I am beginning to see a common thread with the landscapes. Also, it is interesting looking at some of my older work and doing new versions. Lots of fun doing the bird series.
