Landscapes are my old standby when I have no new inspiration for subject matter. Sometimes, as in the case with this painting, I just paint whatever pops into my head, without using reference material. I was feeling particularly blue emotionally when I began this painting. I've noticed that when it comes to my acrylic paintings, I tend to paint in the opposite colors of what would typically be considered the representative colors of the emotions. I guess you could say that I'm painting what I would like to feel.
Maybe with this painting I was thinking of somewhere that I would rather be than where I was at the moment.
Technically speaking, I used some metallic paints mixed with color on this acrylic painting, so it was a little hard to photograph without getting awful reflections. I am by no means a professional photographer.
