Abstract Waterfall 6x6 extra deep panel, oil by Leslie Newman

Abstract Waterfall

This is about the 5th painting I have done this month. Not quite on

track. There is life that happens, appointments, babysitting grand kiddos and to be a

little honest..... some burnout from so much painting leading up to the

Holidays. Will I get 30 paintings done in this 30 in 30 day challenge, No...and

that is OK!

This painting I did and I love it. I used the deep almost black indigo blues and

the deep teal blues, I also have used white representing the waters with some

metallic gold/copper. 

I am really starting to enjoy abstract work over the past yr or so. I did a

very large 4 ft square that I have in my breakfast room that

is completely a contemporary abstract. It is a breath of

fresh air with all of the other types of traditional and impressionistic oils

that I have in our home. I am going to have two other paintings that will

go with the above abstract and using some lighter colors. This

reminds me of some of the many rock hillsides we have here in 

Arkansas. They pop up everywhere, I notice them along the roads. Icy waters will 

trickle or pour out based on what our weather has been. If it is very cold,

it will freeze midstream and look like this.

I hope you enjoy my paintings and blogging. Feel free to shoot me

a message or comment about my work. You can sign

up to follow my work as well. I welcome that!

Stay tuned!!
