Landscapes

This is a sample of landscape paintings in which emphasis is placed on the quality of light and therefore the relationship between the land and sky. This also affects the colors of the fluffy, dense foliage, which must be bathed in appropriate hues in order to imbue a landscape with a certain atmosphere; A specific feeling or quality about a particular location at a certain time of the day and year. Figures or animals can be placed in the landscape to create a sense of scale or to add a narrative as to how people relate to a particular place; They may be hiking trails or a pasture for grazing livestock.
