Abstract Landscape Paintings
Abstract landscape paintings on this page will be different hopefully to many contemporary abstract paintings that you will have viewed before. As an abstract landscape painter, I use natural foliage as my abstract theme and then I manipulate the shapes and colours to create a new type of abstract art. The abstract landscape “Inverted Lights” painting was devised by studying a photographic negative of the scene and using some of the negative colours to create it. “Totem Woods” is the same composition, albeit from a different angle, to the water painting “Stream at Llanina”. “Magpie” and “Cwmmynach Boundary Brook” are abstract landscape themes from the same land area. If you would like to see or even compare my traditional and contemporary landscapes with my abstract versions below then the original landscape paintings or the water scenes of Ceredigion are a good place to start.
“Totem Woods”
Acrylic on Canvas
508 mm x 610 mm
(20.00 x 24.00 inches)
Price: GBP 375.00
About the Painting: “Totem Woods”
Here’s a different kind of contemporary abstract painting that has a psychic art twist to it. I’m also an accomplished Spiritual Psychic Medium and I experiment with psychic painting. I’m convinced that a Red Indian guide influence came through on the tree trunks as they do resemble markings you might find on a Totem Pole. Also the style of painting isn’t exactly me although I did paint it. A traditional view from the same area is shown under “Llanina Bridge”.
“Cwmmynach Boundary Brook”
Acrylic on Panel
180 mm x 250 mm
(7.13 x 9.76 inches)
Price: GBP 135.00
About the Painting: “Cwmmynach Boundary Brook”
The idea behind this contemporary abstract painting was to show just enough colour to represent the scene of a brook running along the boundaries of a farmer's field. Most of the composition is purposely dark to accentuate the light streaming through gaps in the trees and bushes. This composition is very close to my new art painting “Capeli Ditch”.
“Inverted Lights”
Acrylic on Canvas
508 mm x 610 mm
(20.00 x 24.00 inches)
FRAMED
Price: GBP 595.00
About the Painting: “Inverted Lights”
This abstract landscape painting has many interesting features. First of all, the white light is light and not snow! The composition shows a river, two side banks, a top bank where the river turns to the right and beyond the bleached tree. The colours were chosen mainly to simulate a negative of a photographic print hence the title “Inverted Lights”. Faces appeared in the painting too that I did not consciously put there. See if you can see the large white face of a Nethanderal man. The Bluebell Walk painting on wild flowers painting category was painted close by to this abstract landscape scene.
“Magpie”
Acrylic on Canvas
508 mm x 407 mm
(20 x 16 inches)
Price: GBP 390.00
About the Painting: “Magpie”
I have titled this abstract landscape painting as “Magpie” because a Magpie bird flew into my studio and sat on a shelf admiring this picture a few moments after it had been finally completed! The painting was an experiment at trying to produce a “magic eye” picture in paint and to some extent it does work. There are many hidden people and animals within the composition. Another semi abstract painting where many dark tones have been added is the water painting “Ford at Dole”.
