images inspired by Darebin Parklands

I have been back in the studio after a close to 9 month break. These works are around oil on canvas, 20 x 30 cm and are inspired by my walks around Darebin Parklands in a time where I needed peace and tranquility.

Landscape paintings - again, more.

I have taken some ideas from the small studies I did last week and spent all of Monday working on these three panels.

I am exploring glazing with acrylics and different grounds on the support.

The support here is MDF, and I have used calcite, impasto and gel mediums to get some textures. I have used lots of normal acrylic medium to build up the glazes.

Some scumbling has taken well on the rough ground. Will get a detailed view of it for the next update.
