The Refuge I Seek – Abstract Impressionist Landscape Painting – Oil on Canvas
Here is another painting that is growing on me. And teaching me more than I can ever comprehend. There is handiwork of the One above – in everything we see.
I now find reasons to go past by this painting which is now hung to dry. It will take a long for sure as it is laden with thick textures and thick colors
I started with turquoise, copper and Indian red as base colors. I knew it would be a landscape for the colors were speaking for themselves, conveying sky, earth and trees. As the new layers got added, a beautiful abstract landscape was formed. I cant even remember the number of days it took to reach here.
There was a danger of doing more work on this and spoil it. Thankfully, I stopped. This time I kept going back and looking at it as a whole and decided to stop. It seemed very light, beautiful and airy earlier with less darker tones. But with a little more brushwork and darkness around, it feels better.
Call it abstract, impressionist or anything, its beyond my care. I was and am stunned by the simplicity of this painting. It is growing on me at the moment. If there is a calling, this is it.
If there is a refuge for my soul, this is it.

Love this outfit! It’s been in the 80′s (and sometimes 90′s) here in Fresno, CA. I just moved here and still ha2&1e#8vn7;t found a decent thrift store. Oh well, it will happen in time.
Ishrath, I love this painting. It is absolutely beautiful!! Do you sell your paintings? I would be interested if so.
Thanks,

Beautiful… There are some scenes and colours which our mind can identify with, yet difficult to express or create in the physical world. This painting comes under the same category… The colours, textures, shadows, they are all so warm, deep and lovely. Fortunate am I to view this lovely painting!
All yours, Iniyaal. These paintings are all for those who See. I am deeply touched that you always look beyond the strokes.
This one truly stirs the soul….very deeply, very lovely.
Thank you Mystic. Your words mean a lot to me.
