Spicy Infusion.


Abstract landscape with acrylic/mixed medium.

This painting will capture your senses in more ways than one. I added spices to my paints before applying. For the yellows, I used turmeric, which also gave the trunks a nice texture. The greens have cumin which gives a vibrant texture and feel. The blue was laced with peppermint, to give a pastel-like affect. The red has thyme, chunky pieces that smell divine. The house smelled wonderful but I don't know the long-term effects, whether the smells fade or go mouldy!. It will capture your imagination and your mind will never forget..
