30 Paintings in 30 Days is a challenge by artist Leslie Saete. For me this challenge is an exercise to stay loose in my strokes and swipes and to allow myself a platform to stubble and fall as well as to grow and learn while I push myself to paint subjects outside of my comfort zone. 

Late Summer Marsh by Abstract Impressionistic Artist Marissa Vogl

Late Sumer Marsh

18x24", oil on canvas.

Available for purchase. Please contact me direct thru email, click here.

A modern and abstract view of the marsh land of the American South. This view is within the densely wooded area where black swamp water meets vibrant ferns, palms and grasses. It is a magical place especially when the light filters through the trees. You can smell the sweet warm pluff mud...I know that may not sound pleasant but once you've lived here for a year or two you learn to love it. 

Thank you for stopping by!

'Red Apple Study II'

8x10", oil on canvas.

Available here.

I have had a challenging time mastering the color red. This apple study allowed me to play with the mixing of different shades and values of red to achieve that brightness that anything red and shiny gives off. I still have a bit of learning to do but for the time being I am pretty happy with the results. What did I learn....well I now know that I need to start out with pure red pigment as my highlights or brightest shade of red from there I just need to mix darker shades and add shadows of reds to allow the pure pigment to pop.
