Symbolic outback acrylic painting by artist Alan J. Benge


When I painted this composition, I restricted the palette to simple, mainly black and red simplified shapes on a white background to give a symbolic effect.
There is an element of counterchange in the trees on the right, and big splashes of colour with twirls, spirals and stripes work together to make up this stylized landscape.
I enjoyed creating this picture, and feel it has possibilties for further artistic exploration in the future.
In other words, I hope to paint more like it !
