Artist Comments

This is a very simple and uncluttered composition of hilltops. Uncluttered paintings can sometimes have a calming effect on the viewer, which is one reason why I enjoy doing them on occasion. When looking at this painting, one has to wonder what lies beyond the next ridge. More trees, a herd of cows, a bevy of deer, or a flock of sheep? Viewers can let their imaginations run wild with this one.

See the art lesson Principles of Good Design: Visual Economy for more information on the subject of simplicity and how it is used in art.

Artist Comments

I used a free photo from Pixabay.com as a reference for this painting. Pixabay is an online gallery of copyright-free images that can be downloaded and used without attribution. That website serves as a source of inspiration for me on occasion.

The photo I used for Blue Shutters was taken on the Greek island of Karpathos. I made changes to the composition because I didn’t want it to be an exact replica of the original photograph. See for yourself if my painting isn’t better than the reference photo. Click here.

Artist Comments

I’m a sucker for old country barns. They have a certain charm that appeals to me, especially when they’re old and weathered. And when the composition allows, I love to include them in my landscape paintings.

The Broadside of a Barn is a country landscape painting. To create an interesting effect, I painted this composition with a tight crop. The crop gave the impression that the painting had been cut in half from corner to corner at an angle, forming two opposing triangles. The top triangle has organic shapes, while the bottom half is made up of manmade shapes.

This painting appeals to me because of the many contrasts present within its composition. For example, near vs. far, organic vs. manufactured, curved vs. straight, round vs. square, dark vs. light, etc. Can you find other contrasts?

Artist Comments

This painting of a prickly pear cactus was a fun one to do. It brought back memories of my childhood. I grew up in west Texas where these flowering desert plants are commonplace. One doesn’t really give much thought to them unless you have a personal encounter with one. Ouch! Some varieties have really long thorns that can really hurt if you’re not careful.

♦ “Wow I thought it was a photo when scrolling past. Just grilled up a prickly pear last month – yum!” — @wedareto, TRUTH Social

♦ “So pretty… I love prickly pears!!!” — @kamilasart, TRUTH Social

♦ “Cacti very likely represent the thorns and thistles that man must reap after his fall. I believe they may also represent refreshment and survival in the most difficult of situations. Humans and animals often find refreshment and water within cacti. It isn’t ideal, but many have survived in the most dire of circumstances. God be with you all. May we fully experience the refreshment of God in this age and the age to come.” — @ArtMusic_only, Art&Music Promotional Service, MeWe

Artist Comments:

Up the Steps is a painting I composed from a reference photograph. This painting conveys a sense of movement as if you could walk right up those steps. And it was this aspect of the photograph that attracted me the most. I did, however, make changes to the composition to improve it.

I’m part of a social media group of artists and photographers who like to share photos of places, objects, animals, and people they’ve photographed. They allow their fellow members to paint from their reference photos. Read more about reference photos here: Reference Photos for Artists

For more information on the subject of movement and how it is used in art, see the art lesson: Principles of Good Design: Movement.
