Using A Sponge~Atmospheric Landscape or Ethereal Abstract Painting? #359

Creating my 30" x 40" acrylic painting was an exciting and innovative process. Using a sponge, I applied a variety of colors to the canvas, carefully considering how the hues and patterns would interact. Horizontally, the painting reveals a tranquil landscape, with gentle blending that mimics the rolling hills, serene skies, and distant mountains. The sponge technique allowed for a natural, almost ethereal or atmospheric quality, making the scenery appear soft and dreamlike. However, when the canvas is turned vertically, the same colors and textures transform into an abstract composition. The landscape elements become dynamic shapes and vibrant swirls, challenging the viewer's perception and inviting them to find new meanings within the abstraction. This duality makes the painting not only a versatile piece of art but also a conversation starter, as it embodies both the serenity of nature and the excitement of abstract expression. I'd love to know if you like the horizontal version or the vertical. Leave me a comment!
