Wolf Kahn is a German-American painter known for his vivid and colorful landscapes. I have been inspired by his work since the first time I picked up a pastel. He used a lot of strong horizontal and vertical lines to create his beautiful landscapes. And of course, his vibrant use of color filled me with joy. I forgot about his inspirational work till the other day when I saw a painting of his on facebook. Influenced by his work, I couldn't wait to start a painting. I started with a simple wash of acrylic paint. After drying, I painted with oil, wax and other mediums. Moving with the Moon, 20" x 16", oil on paper To create movement in my work, I used my fingers to move the paint around. I really enjoyed the outcome. It gives me a feeling of falling leaves glistening in the moonlight. I hope you enjoy it too!
