This is an original Mixed Media artwork created by Marlene Kallstrom-Barritt.
The painting features a serene landscape, characterized by rolling hills that gently rise and fall. The foreground is predominantly a lush green, suggesting a fertile earth, while the darker shades towards the bottom evoke a sense of depth.
Above the hills, the sky stretches wide, painted in soft hues of blue with wispy clouds scattered throughout, creating a tranquil atmospherics.
A notable feature is the textured band of fragmented shapes, reminiscent of gemstones or colorful leaves, that traverses the midsection of the painting. These shapes, rendered in pastel colors like soft yellows, blues, and whites, add a playful contrast to the earthy greens and blues. This artistic choice may symbolize the interaction between nature and human creativity, reflecting how beauty can emerge from both the natural world and artistic interpretation.
Overall, the piece exudes a calmness, inviting the viewer to reflect on the harmony found in nature and the joy of artistic expression.
This picture is painted in acrylic on stretched canvas, and the textured pieces have been created using coloured egg shells.
