Art of Taskin

This was created purely spontaneously and in one rapid sitting. My intention was initially to create serene landscape. I began painting the scenery, however very soon after I shifted to producing this abstract, I would call a 'spur of the moment' piece , done  while I was 'in my zone'.....                  'Sometimes the unplanned and unpremeditated  are the most joyous! '.....              

My composition of Silent Waters followed the usual steps in landscapes as Dreamscape. It was a new kind of landscape for me, experimenting with  different subjects - boats and their reflections. The aim was to keep it simple. It offered me the opportunity to use a new order to my method  - apply the  'impasto' technique for texture in the middle ground trees while keep the foreground and background soft and subtle. I was quite pleased with the outcome in the end ! Below is the final painting  of Silent Waters:                                          Silent Waters 60 cm x 50 cm oil on canvas                                                                                                              © copyright protected
