All work is free from AI, created by me, hands on, in my coastal Maine studio. Certificate of Authenticity verified original tangible one of a kind art on canvas. I use digital/traditional art materials and techniques to create the canvas.
This work was done to translate the intensity of place using a degree of abstraction.
Gallery label:
Rejecting the descriptive function traditionally associated with landscape this work employs intentional movement to dissolve the horizon into luminous fields of color. Water, sky, and shoreline remain perceptible only as traces, their forms transformed.
The resulting work invites sustained looking, encouraging viewers to experience landscape as sensation rather than site, where perception, time, and motion converge.

This is mixed media 24x43 on canvas AI free with ICM and digital/traditional art tools
We are looking at a shoreline cutting through near center horizontally, with a distant bay, islands and mountains to the left, clouds in motion above in blue sky. Below is the reflection of sky and clouds in glassy water. To the right is the shoreline in autumn color from the distance curving around to the bottom of the canvas.

24x36 mixed media archival pigment ink giclee on canvas Just like the shore of the ocean or any water body the transitional edge of the forest is a highly active zone.
Moving from left to right we are moving from a forest environment with higher canopy to an edge where canopy varies. Slowly grading down to the ground. The image captures this transition of vegetation and the intensity of the sun in the opening to the right. Green. yellow and golds are vegetation. Vertical dark areas are tree trunks and blue is sky.
Gallery tag:This work transforms a woodland into a vibrant exploration of light, color, and perception. Rather than recording the landscape, the image embraces motion and abstraction, dissolving trees and foliage into luminous fields of green, yellow, blue, and amber. Dark vertical trunks provide structure while blurred textures evoke the sensation of moving through the forest. The composition invites viewers to experience nature as memory rather than documentation. The shifting forms and saturated colors suggest that the landscape is shaped not only by what we see, but by movement, emotion, and the fleeting effects of light

This is a view with the sun early in the morning off to the right. On the right your looking through tree trunks to brightly lit trees way beyond the foreground. The sun projects from right to left through the scene going from the background in yellows gold and greens to foreground pine needles in burnt brown orange colors in the bottom left. Abstract multidimensional based on nature. 18x32 canvas mixedmedia

The top of this 24x48 mixed media is mostly cloudless blue skies. As we move down we see some clouds and ocean mixing near the horizon. Then a treeline and land anchors the bottom in green, browns, grays and blacks. I've done this as a minimalist abstract because the real thing is minimalist in form but loaded with natural energy

I did this work to get the effect of depth and color in nature, focusing on the energy of the moment rather than a graphic realism depiction. It's done on canvas with elements of pigment inks acrylic and more, so mixed media.
We're looking through Beech and Birch to a somewhat in the distance Aspen tree in fall colors at it's top.
Gallery Label: This work transforms a familiar seasonal scene into a dynamic visual experience. Tree trunks, rendered in stark black, cut through a swirling canopy of yellow, green, and orange, inviting viewers to consider how landscapes are not only seen but felt.

We are looking at a closeup of a Dandelion flower as it's about to release seed Pretty cool work of nature for being called a weed, a negative connotation. It's definitely worth having a few around, bee magnet when in yellow flower. 24X24 canvas, acrylic pigment ink, photography, manipulated, so mixed media.

This is a work that explores the light interacting with leaves with the contrast of near and far views ultimately to blue sky. This work starts with a single in camera full frame image created at the time. Then I digitally process it maintaining the single frame as the base, for a pigment ink rendition on canvas. I combined a few different art on canvas techniques to get there, so it's mixed media I would say in the end.
Gallery Label:
A vibrant, impressionistic capture of leaves in shifting light, where lush greens and flashes of blue sky blur into a dreamlike forest scene. The dynamic movement evokes a fleeting moment, nature felt rather than seen.

This canvas was created starting with abstract photography of mine. I used a digital camera with photographic processing software so the image could be considered digital and manipulated. Giclee printing on canvas by me 24x36, then acrylic elements to bring it all together. Essentially a mixed media final piece. Signed one of a kind with unsigned prints available. The black area is the shadowed field edge background. Greens are leaves. And gold reds are grass tassels

You are looking over a field and treeline towards the sun. The sun is behind the clouds. The light glows from behind the clouds and trees as it nears sunset before color is visible.

This is inspired by a fall in New England. On the left is a prominent tree trunk. Multiple trunks and branches are visible. Upper right is a birch. The field of color is made up of all the various tree leaves in various states of turning in the fall.

At the bottom of this24x36 canvas multimedia work we have a treeline in shadow. Moving up we have clouds. In these clouds there are 2 openings both showing bright blue sky. The one on the left is rimmed with the glow of the sun behind. The whole scene is in motion. A.S
Gallery Label: A energy filled sky dominates the composition, where luminous bursts of gold and intense blue break through dense, shifting clouds. The lower edge suggests a darkened treeline. The artist’s handling and focus creates a dreamlike atmosphere, capturing not a literal landscape but an emotional impression.

We have the sun lighting the trees from behind especially at the tops. At the right a tall tree with orange red yellow foliage at the top. Center bottom is ground level vegetation in greens and golds. The left being more upper level vegetation in color.A.S.
Gallery Label This dynamic composition captures the fleeting intensity of autumn through motion and abstraction. Vivid oranges and golds of fall foliage spiral across the canvas, set against a deep, expansive blue sky. The blurred, circular movement evokes both wind and time, transforming a familiar landscape into a visceral experience.
Dark, linear forms anchor the composition, while simultaneously slicing through the whirl of color. The artist’s use of layered textures and sweeping gestures blurs the boundary between representation and abstraction, inviting viewers to feel rather than simply observe the scene.
In this work, nature is not still or serene,it is alive, shifting, and immersive, drawing the viewer into its rhythmic, swirling energy.

FALL STONE #BskyArtShow #stone #painting #art #artist #artyear #artshare #blueskyart #abstractart #contemporaryart #fineart #abstractexpressionism #photography #nature #globalwarming #acrylic #surrealism #minimalism #fall andrewsolmaler.com www.saatchiart.com/andrewsolmaler

This is a canvas of a solitary stone as found on a forest floor of leaves twigs and other stones. The fall leaves are in foliage color. Contrast of elements of nature apparent. A.S.
Gallery Extended Label
This striking composition captures a quiet fragment of the natural world, where time, texture, and transformation converge. At the center rests a smooth, weathered stone, its rounded form softened by years of erosion, anchoring the scene in stillness. Surrounding it, a scattered layer of fallen leaves and twigs creates a dense, organic tapestry, suggesting the slow accumulation of seasons.
The image employs a selective color treatment: most elements are rendered in stark grayscale, while patches of warm orange break through the monochrome.
There is an underlying tension between permanence and impermanence. The stone, seemingly unchanging, stands in quiet contrast to the fragile leaves that will soon disintegrate and return to the earth. Yet even the stone bears subtle marks of time, reminding us that nothing is truly untouched by change.
This work invites reflection on cycles, transition, stillness with energy, encouraging the viewer to find beauty not only in what endures, but in what fades.

For ColorADay red, Well, reddish I suppose. This is the sun coming from behind various trees as it rises.
To the left we have dense branches that the sun cannot penetrate. As we move right the sun is partially visible behind branches as it glows red orange. Moving right we have a central tree trunk. Moving further right we have more of the overall landscape where this brief moment in time is happening. A.S.
Gallery Tag
A luminous awakening unfolds through layered branches and radiant bursts of light. Warm, ember-like tones push through a quiet, misted landscape, capturing that fleeting moment when night releases its hold and morning begins to breathe. The contrast between glow and stillness creates a sense of energy that feels both calm and powerful.

The orange is foliage in fall color. The dark lines are tree trunks and branches. The glowing color of the leaves is from the sun behind the tree. Movement shows the active energy of a living tree.

The inspiration for this work was as the title says, a WINTER WALK. Coming out of the deep freeze heavy snow past, the sun and snow glisten as the sun is warm and bright. No feeling of hostile winter weather, just a scene filled with energy. Andrew Solmaler
Gallery tag :The artist captures not a landscape as it is seen, but as it is felt, balancing brilliance and hush with radiant white snow Rather than rendering detail, the artist invites reflection.

In January you expect it to be cold which it is in this image, but the sun even at mid day though low on the horizon does it's work of warmth. Winter cold can have some great color. I abstract it here. Basic description is forest trees and forest floor. Snow and ice. Sky at top with sun.
