Serenity Original by Chloe Gulliver
Acrylic on Canvas
Serenity depicts calming waters against a foggy horizon. The stillness of the water contrasts the ominous backdrop of the misty mountains, and the blue/green colour tone generates a feeling of coolness throughout the scene. The rippling light entering between the mountains appears to reflect the calming moon, the brightness ahead, creating a sense of serenity.
My paintings often feature abstract or minimalist landscapes, painting with acrylics on board or canvas. I often stick to minimal colour palettes of varying shades to reflect seasonal landscapes, often inspired by places that I have visited here in Scotland. In particular, I like to create dramatic horizons against a calming backdrop, or vice versa, to instil a sense of impending calm. Recently, I have begun exploring the addition of vibrant bursts of colour to otherwise two-tone landscapes, a technique which completely transforms a calming image to one of a care-free yet dynamic nature.
