Autumn in Dunchideock by Kasia B. Turajczyk

I present my new fantasy abstract paintings from the series Four Seasons. (N.B. it has nothing to do with The Four Seasons of Vivaldi; however I love his four violin concertos, especially when listening to them in Venice – the perfect place, with an exciting past and a unique atmosphere)

I painted "Autumn in Dunchideock” first, without the intention of it being a part of a series. But yesterday I painted “Winter in Dunchideock” and now I am sure that Spring and Summer will follow.
In both paintings I used acrylics plus lots of weird materials. It is a real pleasure to experiment with seeds, plants, flowers and wax mixed with acrylics.

The autumn was the most colourful time, maybe still dominated by green (it is always green here) but also full of warm nuances of red, brown, yellow, blue and purple colures.

The winter is greenish- brownish-dark, somehow cool, and from time to time snow-white or frost-white.

I am wondering what will happen with the magnolia trees. At one point in December the Magnolias were in full bud. I hope they will survive the cold days and the frost at night. I love to watch them when they are in bloom. They look like Russian princesses from the Russian folk fairy tales. That just gave me an idea for a new fantastic painting: homage to the Great Russian painter Mikhail Aleksandrovich Vrubel + Magnolia tree + Snow Queen.
