Volcanic Cones by Maynard Dix
We talk about gesture a lot in regards to the human figure, but as I work on my current projects, I have been admiring a number of landscape paintings for their wonderful gesture. Lines, literal or implied, can be handed off between elements, sweeping and long to feel expansive or calm, or decisively terse and staccato to feel exciting or agitated. So, today I am sharing a few of these paintings that have been inspiring me!
A Wild Land by Brett Allen Johnson
Baileys by Brian Sindler
Storm Momentum by Ed Mell
Clouds with Grain Elevator by Phil Epp
Where the Land is Big by Brett Allen Johnson
Rainy Season in the Tropics by Frederic Edwin Church
Into the Canyon by Ed Mell
Morning Fog by Eyvind Earle
Green Fields by Eyvind Earle
Green Hillside by Eyvind Earle
Great selection. Rainy Season in the Tropics by Frederic Church is one of my most favorite paintings ever. Seeing it at the De Young Gallery in SF is one of the main factors in converting me to want to become a traditional painter whilst studying Visual Development.
Thanks Sarah,
