One of my favourite abstract landscape paintings: Cold Clouds

‘Cold Clouds’ - 26 x 23 cm - Acrylic on canvas

I do like looking back at older paintings to find inspiration and I’ve always liked this small abstract landscape painting because of the expressive freedom of the brushstrokes and the calm, peaceful feeling it evokes. The way the colours blend together creates a real sense of tranquility that resonates deeply with me with a mood of quiet reflection.

I love the bold, confident brushstrokes that stand out vividly on the horizon as well as those just above it where the soft interplay of light blue, creamy tones, and white adds a delicate and dynamic contrast to the scene. Additionally, the subtle touches of warm browns, earthy ochres, and gentle greens bring an organic richness to the composition, enhancing its harmony and depth and giving it a tactile quality.

I find it such an easy and calming painting to look at, which is probably why I keep coming back to it time and time again. I suppose some paintings have a stronger effect on you than others, and often it can be quite difficult to pinpoint exactly why that is. Perhaps that’s the beauty of art as it remains deeply subjective and personal touching each viewer in a unique and perhaps unexpected way and sparking different memories and emotions.
