This image was developed from a plien air painting I posted at the start of June.
I wanted a bit more colour and punch and also thought that a graphic style could enhance the saturated colours so I gessoed over an old painting on canvas and set to work. I had been influenced by work by Fred Ingrams amongst others and although I havent achieved his brave use of colour it is an early step.
It might be worth producing a small set of paintings in this style and see if they develop. I have plenty of raw material both photos and sketches to draw from.
Other landscapes are available for sale on my website: grahammcquadefineart.com
Ooo, I love that graphic version!

Thanks for the positive feedback Kim – I got a bit bogged down with converging lines and detail on this one but I think there is a bit of scope on this approach.

The new picture is stunning! I love to use very bright colours – they affect me emotionally. Some people don’t like these feelings when they look at a painting – but some of us really do enjoy the vibrant colours

Thanks Margaret. I am looking to put a bit of punch into the landscapes I love to paint and stir things up. So I am wrestling with marrying the literal with abstract colour and struggling. Still I’m enjoying it and we’ll see wher it leads.
