large scale forest landscape paintings from Canadian abstract artist Susannah Bleasby

'Down to Earth' abstract landscape paintings

April 28, 2023

'Down to Earth' ...

It's a phrase that perfectly captures both the look and feel of this collection as these paintings are simple, honest snapshots of an everyday, ruggedly beautiful land. Unembellished. Real. Tangled treelines deeply rooted against blustery skies. A limited palette of muted, natural colours. Along with a surprising amount of interest, I found such strength and peace in the idea of 'earthbound'. And rather than hopping all around the rainbow, I gave myself permission to stay in this one place and get to know the landscape over and over and over again, each time a little different, each time revealing new details, new places to explore.

Below is an overview of the 30+ original paintings in the collection. There is a LOT here, so be sure to make a cup of tea, take your time, and scroll through all the way to the bottom!

Update: Most of these forest paintings have now sold. Those still available can be found in the 'Down to Earth' collection in my web shop. Several of the stunning statement pieces in the series continue to be available as fine art prints and canvas prints.
