Martian Dawn Painting

This is an oil paint and cold wax medium painting on hardboard (Masonite). It is unframed and no hanging hardware is supplied. Cold wax medium paintings should not be displayed under extreme heat conditions, such as in the sun, since the wax becomes soft and it can cause damage to the painting. Cold wax medium allows me to bring rich textures in layers of colour into my paintings. This landscape evolved through an expressionist process, whereby I work layer by layer and allow the painting to dictate what it will become. Although I lean toward landscapes, and therefore apply paint and medium in a horizontal direction, I don't plan specific features. As I create texture by scratching, rolling, etc. into the paint, I allow the result to inform my next step(s). I really like creating dream-like landscapes that transport the viewer to another world, and hope they will experience the peace and tranquility that I felt while making the painting. I enjoy the feeling of freedom when I do abstract expressionistic art. I set no expectations of myself or the work. If it doesn't work out, it's OK. I put it aside till another day and add more layers and textures, until the work gives me a sigh of satisfaction. Then I know it's done.
