Original mixed media abstract oil painting by Stevenjohn McHugh titled "Good Morning". Measures 15.25" x 19.25" x 1.5. Framed size is 16 x 20.25" x 2.5". Mixed media with oil stick, marker, oil, graphite, charcoal and cold wax on Arches oil paper glued on wood panel with PH balance glue. Side of wood cradle (solid wood) is varished natural. Signed on front and back. Framed is a vanished galleryshed natural. Signed on front and back. Framed is a vanished gallery frame solid wood. "Good Morning" a vibrant and textured abstract landscape painting that recalls a forest scene. It features an array of vertical forms that suggest tree trunks and branches. These forms are rendered with various colors such as yellow, orange, green, and hints of red, juxtaposed against a mottled background that lends the impression of foliage or light filtering through a canopy. The use of color is energetic, creating a dynamic effect that plays with the sensation of depth and natural growth. The brushwork varies across the composition, with some areas showing visible brushstrokes and others looking more blended, contributing to the feeling of a natural, organic environment. The painting is enclosed in a simple gallery floating frame, which complements and contains the lively scene within. #madelineisland #stevemchughart.com #bayfieldwi #apostleislands #wisconsinartist #mixedmedia #modernart #contemporaryart #painting #contemporarypainter #paintstudio #artgallery #fineart #abstractart #artcollector #originalart #contemporaryartwork #studio #artgallery #artcollector #artadvisor #artcurator #abstraction #abstractart #abstractpainting #artcollector #artistoninstagram #stevenjohnmchugh #Aninhinabewakilands #artistinthewoods #lakegitchegumee

I am a mixed media non-representational abstract painter. I’m inspired by looking at broken asphalt roads, pushed ice sheets in the bay, lichens on old trees, mangled flattened soda cans and the unintended compositions created.

I start all my paintings with intuitive marks and gestures, then the layering of colors, creating textures; scraping away adding marks, subtracting and reconstructing, then repeating. In this process I will chose clashing colors, change the composition and will break all the rules. First comes the chaos, then some order and clarity.

I want the viewer to constantly discover new elements and details in my paintings, and bring their own interpretations and reactions to my thousands and thousands of actions.

You’ll find charcoal, graphite, gunpowder, sand, crayons, oil stick, oil and cold wax, even photography within and on paper and canvas, primed and un-primed, sandwiched on to wood panels.

I live and work on a very small Island in Lake Superior, Madeline. I spent my first three decades creating photographic advertising images. I plan to spend my last decades creating soul driven images. The act of painting, creating, is as essential to me as air and water.
