“When you create a mark with energy or intention, you’re doing more than just filling space, you’re leaving behind a little signature of your mood, your movement & creativity. These seemingly simple strokes become the foundation of a landscape that doesn’t need to “look exactly like” the place, but communicates some of the sense of what it was like to be there. If you’re just beginning your art journey or returning to it later in life, abstract landscapes are the perfect playground. You get to enjoy the freedom of gesture, and explore texture, shapes and rhythm at your own pace. Whether you’re using brushes, fingers, a palette knife, or scratching the paint with something you found while outside, each mark you make becomes part of a visual language and it’s uniquely your own. Painting isn’t just about creating something to hang on a wall, it’s about the joy of doing. So don’t worry if your mark isn’t perfect. Let it be authentic. Let it have character & your landscapes will thank you for it.”
