NEW! Original white flower painting and floral art by contemporary landscape artist Melissa McKinnon

‘SPRING FLING’ 48″x48″ Acrylic on Canvas

“Spring Fling” 48″x48″ Acrylic Painting on Canvas

Beautiful white flower painting and floral art by contemporary landscape artist Melissa McKinnon

Sitting on a swing with my Grandma in her flower garden on a warm spring afternoon sipping a delicious cup of tea (like the true British lady she was) – that’s the memory that comes to mind when I look at this painting. We’d sit for hours together engaged in conversation, watching the birds and squirrels come and go, enjoying the beautiful scenery of her lush garden overflowing with fresh, fragrant blooms…

This is the power of great art – it has the ability to inspire, to evoke emotion, and bring to life a favourite memory from the past.

“Spring Fling” {detail} 48″x48″ Acrylic Painting on Canvas

‘Spring Fling’ a beautiful original painting of a field of fresh white flowers. This floral painting was created with shades of white, deep blues, vibrant greens and a hint of golden shimmer throughout.

“Spring Fling” {detail} 48″x48″ Acrylic Painting on Canvas

This floral painting was created using a combination of large brushes and palette knives {my favourite tools of the trade}. I used them to sculpt paint onto the canvas creating a lifelike three dimensional texture of delicate, soft petals and crisp leafy foliage. The added impasto texture brings this painting to life as the sunlight cascades across the surface of the painting highlighting all of the intricate details throughout.

NEW PAINTING Cloudy Skies and Prairie Fields Landscape Painting by Contemporary Canadian Artist Melissa McKinnon “Soft Summer Light” 48″x36″

“Soft Summer Light” 48″x36 Original Acrylic Landscape Painting on Canvas

“Soft Summer Light” 48″x36″ Acrylic Painting on Canvas $3050

Cloudy Skies and Prairie Fields Landscape Painting by Contemporary Canadian Artist Melissa McKinnon

Light… Modern… Peaceful… are the words that come to mind when I look at this painting.

In this painting, the landscape has been interpreted in a fresh contemporary style using a combination of soft, subtle brushwork contrasted with thick, impasto texture, creating a work of art that can be felt with your hands as well as your heart.

“Soft Summer Light” (Detail) 48″x36″ Acrylic Painting on Canvas

 

The unique colour palette includes an endless variety of pale tonal greys that capture the subtle nuances of the sky on a cloudy overcast day mixed with pops of eye-catching vibrant, bold colour that add interest and a bit of drama to this overall serene and calming landscape painting.

“Soft Summer Light” (Detail) 48″x36″ Acrylic Painting on Canvas

Growing up in Alberta, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, endless rural prairie fields and wide open, constantly changing sky has instilled within me, a deep appreciation of nature and the beauty that surrounds us. I believe that beauty is in the details – be it a stunning sunset sky full of vibrant colour or the tiniest prairie flower reaching for the sun in a sea of grassy field – all we have to do is pause for a moment and look. The beautiful colours and textures of the landscape have become a huge inspiration in my artwork and my aim is to show you that beauty in a new way.

Painting LIVE in Banff, Alberta – A Prairie Inspired Landscape Painting With Colourful Cloudy Sky After a Storm

Painting LIVE in Banff!
For the past few weeks I’ve been working on this gorgeous landscape painting commissioned by a national medical research company. I finished the painting live on stage at the Banff Springs Hotel at one of Canada’s largest medical conferences – an extraordinary experience!

‘From Darkness Into Light’
2017
Acrylic on Canvas
36″x24″

The finished painting ‘From Darkness Into Light’ 36″x24″

Our intent was to convey the feelings of a person transitioning from the darkness of disease into health and light. The inspiration was a beautiful prairie landscape featuring a big cloudy sky. You can see the dark, tumultuous storm clouds on the left and how they begin to transition into glowing sun lit clouds.

2017
Acrylic on Canvas
48″x30″

‘After the Storm’ 48″x30″ Acrylic Painting on Canvas $2900

The billowing clouds and soft light give this painting a dramatic and beautiful atmosphere. The impasto brush strokes capture the feeling of movement and light felt when you are outdoors in the fresh air after a summer storm.
