Contemporary Abstract Landscape Painting "Evening's Keep" by Contemporary Realism Artist Carol A. McIntyre

Colorado's landscape is filled with many different geological formations. This outcropping of rocks was discovered while out 'chasing' the golden aspen leaves one fall. I imagined the sun set and combined it with these rocks. 

Note that the perspective is slightly off. Why? How does it make you feel? 

"Evening's Keep," was chosen by well-known art critic Brian Sherwin, to be featured in the  FASO Daily Art Show!

Contemporary Abstract Landscape Painting "MOON WINDOW" by Contemporary Realism Artist Carol A. McIntyre

"Moon Window" was painted immediately after I painted "The Blue Beyond." I had been wanting to paint moonscapes for a long time and finally the idea caught up with me. Surprisingly, the first layer of this painting was various reds and this underpainting provides the glow. Most people would not expect reds and orange-reds to be the colors to use to set off the moon light, yet it does provide the depth. It is also interesting to see how these warm colors set the stage to rest of the painting. What are your reactions to the reds?

Contemporary Abstract Landscape Painting "KENTE MOON MAGIC" by Contemporary Realism Artist Carol A. McIntyre

"Moonlight Magic with Kente Cloth Patterns," is a commissioned painting for an engineer's office. She wanted very specific elements in the painting, such as: moonlight over the Vernazza, Italy, peninsula, mango tree and mangoes, Kente cloth patterns, a beach and a sense of calm with lots of color. What do you think, did I do it?

Contemporary Abstract Landscape Painting"Enchanting Web" by Contemporary Realism Artist Carol A. McIntyre

"Enchanting Web" began as an inspiration from the feeling of a wave and surfing 'down the pike' while being greeted by the serenity of the placid sea. The web idea ~ or net ~ added more intrique to the image the more I painted. My goal is to pull you into the painting ~ to make you stop and dream/think/feel. But the original 'box' felt too confining and I had to integrate the shapes all the way to the edges of the painting. 
After all, who wants to stay within a box while out dreaming or surfing life? The colors were chosen to enhance the feeling of fantasy because these colors are not frequently found in nature.
