 This is an abstracted nature piece similar to one I have posted previously and completed around the same time.  It is the view from my cottage looking out over the water.  I find mixed medial fun to do and the textures are quite rewarding.

This piece was FUN to paint.  If you look closely enough you might be able to see that I used paper towel, tin foil, and water colour paper in the painting.  First, I made layers with these materials.  Then I did an under painting, followed by an over painting.  It is a fairly abstract depiction of the view from my parent's cottage in the Canadian Shield.  This piece falls into the category of what I call patterns in nature. It has a very geometric feel to it.  Some people think these are birches but they are actually pines.

This painting was my first attempt at mixed media in acrylic with these barnlife paintings. In the foreground I have used feather and water colour ripped into strips. I really like the background and the fluorescent pink under painting peaking through.
