set of small abstract paintings

Small abstract paintings - reflections of the landscape around my home


I am sure it's no news to you that I love the fields, mountains and lakes around my home. And that I love birds and trees. And that I love painting little paintings :-)

So I have a new set of little abstract paintings - 2 on wood, 5 on canvas. They're really fantastic, affordable art and they are all available here ... small abstract paintings for sale.



Finishing touches with the tiniest brush imaginable!


"Where I Belong" - abstract landscape with New Zealand Cabbage Tree


"Alone" - winter abstract landscape painting


All seven mini abstracts are available here -  small abstract paintings for sale.

heading south - new abstract landscape painting

"Heading South" - abstract landscape painting


At first glance this painting seems to be almost monochrome, a calming and serene blue and white. A closer look reveals a rich layering of colour, creating a depth to the water in the foreground.

The sweep of birds over the mountains is a contrast to the calm of the blue lake and, along with the vintage postcard image, represents a journey at the change of seasons.

"Heading South"
Acrylics and gold ink on untempered masonite
50.5cm x 60cm (0.5mm thick)
Sides of the panel are painted white
Unframed

small abstracts

Small abstract paintings - super fun grouped together


This afternoon I added a new section to my shop with a number of small abstracts. I love painting these little gems. It's fun to use them to add a little touch of colour to a shelf or wall. And, somehow, small paintings seem to draw you in to see all the details.

Available here - www.scatterlings.co.nz/small_abstract_paintings_for_sale.html and on sale until 24 December.



"Refresh 1" and "Refresh 2" - abstract landscape paintings inspired by Central Otago lakes. SOLD
