Good morning everyone. Sharing more recent paintings I’ve done. Today’s work fits the category of #palacesandgardens from a recent trip to the Powerscourt Estate in Ireland. “Pathway Guardian” oil on linen #curtisclarkpaintings @fineartgallery.bsky.social @sdcushing.bsky.social #artyear
This giant evergreen sits along a path that circles the gardens at the Powerscourt Estate in Wicklow, Ireland.
Enhancing the sky as I felt the place was quite magical, and the day we were there it was somewhat grey.

Today’s painting post for #artyear #artshow #oilpainting #sunset “Twilight Rhapsody” oil on linen #curtisclarkpaintings @fineartgallery.bsky.social @sdcushing.bsky.social
Heavy pallet knife brings texture and movement to this sunset scene that almost leans towards abstraction.
A bit different from my usual style, but I like pushing myself into new styles while I continue to paint my traditional work.  What do you think?
