New Paintings Explore Pattern

Fishing, 8 x 10 Oil Painting by Melody Phaneuf
~

Abstract pattern is the fundamental structure of a painting. A pattern can be achieved in many ways: through color, shape, or light and shadow.

The new pictures I have been painting explore light as it caresses the landscape. Interlocking patterns of light and shadow dance across land, over waves, and between rocks.

The 8 by 10 inch paintings are little gems, perfect for small spaces or to group in larger ones. The little paintings are on panel, framed in a simple gold frame, and priced at $350.
