The Boundary of Spring
One of my recent paintings took an imaginative and unexpected turn. It started out as one thing, but ended up as something else entirely!

I started this painting thinking it would be an abstracted forest. Once the sky was painted, I was going to let it dry before working on the trees and leaves.

But . . . I was really digging the colors and simplicity of this first layer of paint, and decided to go in a different direction.
![This is the start of an abstract landscape painting. I'm kind of digging the colors, and may not do much more to it before calling it done.](https://hollyvanhart.com/wp-content/uploads/This-is-the-start-of-an-abstract-landscape-painting.-Im-kind-of-digging-the-colors-and-may-not-do-much-more-to-it-before-calling-it-done.-600x600.jpg)
The painting would be an abstract landscape. It would need many more layers to give it the depth and glow I was seeking.
And here’s the finished painting . . .
