Less Is More (Sometimes)

Sometimes a simple, highly abstract depiction of the landscape resonates for me. In this painting I feel a less literal approach to the subject captures the spirit of the place better than a more highly detailed version could.  This tells the story effectively, nothing more required.

I know from years of art making experience that I can paint the life out of a picture effortlessly! The challenge is working only until the art speaks. First to me, and then, hopefully, to the viewer. The tricky question is when to quit.
