"I'm constantly evolving and my body of work keeps changing. One thing that's consistent is the use of vivid colors. Original mixed media abstract oil painting by Stevenjohn McHugh titled "Bold Abstraction". Measures 19.5" x 15" x 1.5. Framed size is 20.25" x 15.75 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 gallery frame solid wood. "Bold Abstraction" is an abstract landscape painting with a vibrant color palette and depict a horizon. It is divided into two main horizontal sections. The upper section consists of a bright yellow field, creating the effect of a luminous sky. This area features energetically applied yellow paint with subtle hints of white and pink near the horizon line, suggesting possible distant clouds or atmospheric conditions. The lower, more expansive section is dominated by intense shades of red, with a rich textural quality achieved through vigorous brushwork that reveals underlayers of blue and orange paint. The distinct boundary between the two sections implies a horizon, evoking a powerful landscape scene or a metaphorical division. The overall impression is one of emotional immediacy and dynamic contrast. #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 #madelineislandartist #madelineislandpainter
