Mountain Top Acrylic 18x24 $1500 framed

Although many of my paintings are still in keeping with my more "traditional" style, I have been experimenting with new ideas, and the landscapes are getting slightly abstracted. I have posted a couple of these "departures" already. I have a new sense of freedom around me- it is an internal feeling that is being expressed outwardly and through my paintings. I like the looseness. Objects are just suggested. Any tool might replace the paint brush to create an effect. There is texture to play with. Color is key. I like this new sense of freedom!

I know I said the the next several posts were to be Nantucket paintings for my upcoming show, but I decided to sneak this one in. I painted it last month and just got around to photographing it. This particular one is also a departure in that it is done in acrylic when I usually work in oil. I do prefer oil, but I liked being able to work quickly without waiting for layers of thick texture to dry. I like the movement in this one. It is atop one of the smaller mountains of New Hampshire.
