Original oil on hardwood painting of a lake in Ireland. by

Description

This is a semi abstract painting inspired by a walk by a lake in Ireland. I didn’t take any photographs or work from sketch’s instead I relied on memory and imagination. I had no interest in realism, every mark here was designed to capture and express the feeling of walking by a lake during sunset and somewhat more.

I like abstract painting more and more, especially when I just concentrate on the feeling or vibe I get from it and I feel inspired to produce some, starting with semi abstract paintings like this one so I can gradually find my feet in that area. As someone who has developed his skills doing largely representational painting I am exited to see how those transcribe to abstract work.
