Romantic Paintings W.I.P. Update

Romantic Paintings Work In Progress

Well here's the latest image from the work in progress I'm currently working on...

I'm still undecided where it's going so it might all change...

We shall see...

I was recently asked on my facebook art page whether this was from my imagination...

To which I replied well the mountains are a local view to me of the Isle Of Arran but other than that the colours or colors if your across the pond and the rest of the painting are produced without any plan...

As they say just winging it...

Greetings...well here is the latest work in progress on the studio easel...

It's another romantic seascape oil painting featuring the Isle Of Arran at the end of the day with a vibrant palette and some heavy impasto...

Living on the Ayrshire coast in Scotland I see this regularly changing vista in its many unique forms and some times not at all as the smir moves up the Firth Of Clyde..

Currently I am waiting for this to dry so I can continue working on it...needing more layers of paint and when they dry selective areas will be glazed...

Thanks for dropping by...

Incidence And Reflection Abstract Painting © Stuart Kirby

With the gorgeous sunny weather continuing here on the south west coast of Scotland I've had a few more days playing with the paint outback in the sunshine...

This latest acrylic abstract painting entitled " Incidence And Reflection " is painted on a 30in x 30in x 1.5in deep box canvas...

Many layers of paint and washes of different colour were applied during its creation giving varying amounts of texture over the canvas...

Plein Air Abstract...On The Patio...

Painting any large expressive abstract (40in x 40in x 1.3in) means I have to brave the elements and check the weather forecast for any sign of the wet stuff heading my way here in Scotland...

Yesterday the weather played ball so I took the opportunity to attempt to create an abstract on the patio outback plein air style...

Anyway here's the results so far...the sides still need to be painted and it also needs a title...

Then after 2 weeks of drying an application of gloss varnish to enhance the acrylic colours and protect the painting...
