Lost Horizon III - 9th of 11 paintings in the March JAHC show

The abstracted landscape. 

Van Gogh did it.

 Turner did it. 

Many painters abstracted what their eyes saw - 

or maybe some people actually see that way? ...

Whatever the case, I also had a goal to abstract a landscape

and the following shots show some of the process for Lost Horizon III.

Color slapped on.

Adding texture in places with acrylic crackle paste.

Almost there ... it needed something ... there was energy ...

It needed still more action! Got my arm & body into it.
