Landscape #1

Here's landscape # 1 of my 100 landscapes project. This one is painted with acrylic on panel. It's a little bit Bob Ross-y right?

On to the next one....

100 Landscapes

I am setting a new goal to complete 100 landscape paintings by the end of this year. It seems a little crazy, but I am trying to find some direction in my artwork and I feel that this may lead me somewhere... hopefully. Why landscapes? I guess because I always seem to come back to them as a subject for my artwork. I always used to tell my students that landscapes are the best subject, because they allow for a lot of freedom when you are painting or drawing them. You can let the brushstrokes and lines go where they want, nothing has to be precise- just focus on the lights and the darks.

We will see how this goes. I have the summer off from work, so I have some time to get started. I plan on posting all of the paintings on my Instagram account as well. Hopefully, writing here will keep me accountable.

I'm not counting these as a part of my 100 landscapes, but they are a couple of landscape paintings I've done this year.
