Rural Australia impressionist painting by Alan J. Benge
This is an outback scene that I painted in acrylics. I used a dark brown to indicate the horses and trees - there was no attempt to apply detail as in a representational work - as the idea is to convey an impression rather than specific features. I contrasted the dark brown splodges with orange and white patches. There is a hint of a blue range of hills in the distance. I find it fun to work quite quickly on paintings such as this, because the end result can either be a failure or a success, depending on your point of view.
