Abstract Landscape Paintings with Shannon Westphal
Do you have a favorite place here in Maine that you would LOVE to paint, but you know you would never be able to capture all the amazing details? Or maybe you appreciate simple lines and a limited palette? Maybe you are ready to dip your brush into abstraction....
The abstract paintings below by Shannon Westphal are simple and elegant representations some of the unique places on Mount Desert Island. With her guidance and YOUR photos, you too can create a beautiful memory of your favorite place!
In this workshop, we will create minimal color-forward landscapes of your favorite places. Bring some photos to work with and leave with a 6x6 landscape painting of your own creation! All Materials provided.
Shannon Westphal has always found a sense of peace in the outdoors. She is a Maine based artist currently practicing on Mount Desert Island.
"No matter how hectic life can get, there is something about a thunder storm, a wide open field or the vivid colors of the forest that reminds me how small of a part I play in the grand scheme of the world. I find comfort in this awareness, and my artwork is an attempt at recreating that feeling."
