Description
Acrylics and watercolour pencils on canvas, 45 x 45 cm.
Happy New Year everyone!!!
I've only just got back online properly since arriving back in Oz at the beginning of last month, so I have some catching up to do here at R'osity and look forward to seeing what people have uploaded in the last few weeks.
I painted this canvas as an exercise on Christmas Eve, working with a looser approach than much of what I'd produced before. Grateful thanks to Cassie for invaluable guidance :-)
Thank you for taking a look and your feedback is always much appreciated :-)

Youre back there in Oz, Jim! Say "Hi!" to Cassie from me too. :-) I can see you had a very creative and delightful Christmas Eve.The painting is so delightful to watch! Colours have lot of light in them; almost all the light has left us here in the North... I love the contrast between top and bottom, soft and hard, stone and earth, rock and grass. Maybe there's even ice but it's melting because of the power of the light. A view from the mountains to the valley; there's really that kind of depth - but I love to watch this more like a state of mind - my mind needs that light and feeling of growth. Happy New Year, Jim! and Cassie, and all there down! Huge hugs to you all!:-)

Welcome back, Jim! Thought you'd be up to something like this now back "down-under" :-) It's just the image I would associate with that ancient, eroded land. Any reference picts used? I'll guess that you did this fairly quickly and spontaneously. I wish I could dash off a work like this in only one day! By the way, my collaboration with Bern can be found on his page. PS. new year cards on the way for both you and Cassie ;-)

Thank you for the comments :-) @Nigel, no reference pics whatsoever, it started off purely as a quick doodle with watercolour pencils which provided a loose framework for overpainting. I wasn't even thinking exclusively of Australia as I would probably have used a different colour scheme if I had :-)

This is breathtaking Jim. If this is an example of what we have to look forward to, I can hardly wait. You colors are so appealing, a kind of subdued Van Gogh! ;) I love the dark line work. A great touch. The background is also excellently painted. Have fun in Oz! Happy New Year Jim and Cassie!

Wonderful work!

Much power in your work. I love the black outline, they make a strong point. Even though it might look still there is a feeling of deep movement, a feeling of life that hasn't seen the light yet working its way to the surface.

Superb work. I love the colors. The simplicity makes this stunning to my eye. Excellent work, Jim. This is a favorite.
