4 Landscapes

Fourth Landscape piece, just started
Third Landscape piece, just started
Second Landscape, finished
First finished landscape piece

I feel like I now am starting to pick up my momentum in doing landscape pieces. I am starting to get a hang of the whole process in creating a landscape painting. Yesterday, I finished the cleveland skyline piece. All I had to do was define the foreground and add shadows to the background to make it more dimensional. Then at the end of that day I started my third landscape piece which is inspired by a Gauguin landscape. I am very excited about this piece, it is something that I have never done before, which is a good sign. It is also something I would never think of because it was my sponsor's idea. Then today, I started this fourth landscape piece which is of my backyard. Hopefully I will finish these two quickly, because I want to do two more before the show.

  1. Travis these pieces are so awesome. I particularly like the one of your back yard, the first finished piece. It totally reminds me of Guagin; the way the colors are distorted, but the color scheme as a whole works to create the reality that we see. The Cleveland one is really cool too. Where is this view from, and is the silver building on the far right bottom that curvy, cool metal business building? I'm also a fan of landscape four, although I can't really tell yet exactly what it's going to be. There is something really interesting about the lines and the way the composition is divided. I can't wait to see what it becomes!
