Abstract Landscape- Vantage Point

"Vantage Point"

8''x8'' Acrylic on RayMar Panel

SOLD

Here's the latest in the 8x8 series and a little more of an abstract landscape this time. I'm happy with the feel of this and plan to do more. Maybe I'll even take them up to a larger scale. Yeah, that sounds like a plan!

This one is going to a collector in Pennsylvania!

"Modern Glyph" 30''x30'' acrylic/canvas

Here is the latest from the studio this past week. Playing with some new textural elements and gestural mark-making. A little more geometric in form and similar to an earlier painting entitled "GeoForm", actually.

Three more paintings in the pipeline...

"Vanguard"

16''x20''x1.5'' Acrylic and Graphite on Gallery Canvas

Available at www.lovettsgallery.com

As this painting came together, I thought of the three rectangles as figures or soldiers and the row of small colored rectangles as figures on the horizon. The dominant red has a sense of power. I looked up the word vanguard and it just seemed to fit this piece.

The last few days have been productive in the studio and three new works were finished last night. This is a favorite of those three and has a spontaneous vibe to it with a kind of Native feel and painted with emotion. More to follow...

"Mindscape II"

12''x12''x1.5'' Acrylic Palette Knife Abstract

http://www.markyearwood.com/

Number two in the 12'' Mindscape Series. These are painted quickly in one or two sittings because I want them to feel spontaneous and full of emotion. Snapshots of landscapes stored in my mind. Maybe they are snippets of real places, dreams or complete imagination. I would like to hear what you see in them, so drop a line or comment.

The photo a few days ago showed this painting and the 12x12 in progress. This is the larger result of the two. I wanted to try an abstracted landscape and after posting it on my Facebook fan page, I think it went over well. I think I shall paint like this again!

I'm very pleased with the end result on this one and how the colors came out.

The Finished 18''x24'' Canvas - "Paradigm" Textured Acrylic

"Paradigm"

18''x24'' Textural Acrylic Palette Knife Painting on Gallery Canvas

SOLD

The finished painting from the progress pic in the last post. I'm working towards an atmospheric quality in my latest paintings by creating more negative space against the stuctured layers. I like the way this one is busy, but serene at the same time.

The texture is heavier than some of my others and looks much better up close.

I also ended up flipping it 180 degrees in the end although, it looks really good any way you hang it. This one will have a new home in California.

"Finding Shelter"

20'' x 22'' x 2'' Textured Acrylic on Floating Wood Panels

$700

While I'm working on some fresh new paintings, I'll post a couple of available ones that are in my current galleries. This is one of my layered wood panel pieces at The Old Katy Glassworks and Gallery in Denison, TX. This one of those pieces that practically painted itself. The textures on the board told me where to paint and I ended up quite pleased with the result.

I am getting ready to start another batch of the 8x8 paintings, so look for those here soon.

I only have four of those on my website that are not sold. If you see one that you really like, don't hesitate too long or you might miss it. That has happened to a couple of people lately.

While I may paint something similar again, no two are alike and each one has its own personality. Thanks for following my work!

"Spiaggia" 12x12 Acrylic

"Spiaggia"

12''x12''x1.5''

SOLD

I'm really having a blast painting these 12'' squares. It's fun to come up with different ways to make a square interesting. Many of these can be hung different ways if you choose, but I display and wire them the way they are painted. This one's Italian name means "beach". I guess with our wet, cold weather lately, I am dreaming of sitting in the sand somewhere.

Textured and glazed Acrylic on gallery wrap canvas. Clear gloss varnish applied for durability. Ready to hang.
