Big Mountains acrylic painting

Art Completed Projects
1

I started this 3 ft by 3 ft canvas in late 2018, over a few months I put at least 8 different layers (acrylic paint, inks) on plus random marks and even a bit of collage. Then it hung on my studio wall for the last 6 months while I got distracted with a million other things, none of which involved paint :roll_eyes:
While cleaning and making a lovely new meditation corner in the studio, I got reinspired and busted out the paint. A week later and I think this one is finally done! After a little gilding of course.

I’m hoping this will bode well for my pile of unfinished works, here’s to the making mojo in 2020!

The before and after are both so pretty! I love the light and the dark and how well all the colors blend. Makes me really wish I had a studio, too.

So you started out with all of that powerful energy underneath and ended up with a calming and soothing piece of art…the transformation is wonderful…

And yes, I also hope you will stay motivated to do more…

I adore the effects on the sun/moon and all the drip marks on the hills and mountains. The whole piece is so beautiful! :slight_smile:

I am just in awe of what the after became. And then I saw the before, and I am even more in awe. It’s beautiful. And, I’m a sucker for mountains.

How do i love thee? OH, THE MANY WAYS! :four_leaf_clover::shamrock:

The best is really showing where you were to where you arrived. Because that’s the kinda stuff i need to see. I’m such a beginner and it’s a stretch. Wow. and see where you ended!!!

Aw thank you for the lovely comments :smile_cat:

@JoyfulClover every painting has that uh “what the hell is this” moment (mine do anyway lol) I subscribe to the never be afraid to paint over and use LOTS of paint school of thought. And my favourite Golden liquid paints, which are like heaven in a bottle!
