Simple Abstract Nature Art
Standing on a quiet hill in Vermont during late autumn changes how you see the land. You do not notice every single tree or fence post. What stays with you is the grey sky, the gold sunlight hitting a field, and the quiet hills.
That feeling is the heart of Vermont abstract landscape art. Instead of painting every detail like a photo, abstract art uses color and simple shapes to show how nature feels.
At Brenda Myrick Art, our studio paints the spirit of the countryside. These paintings and prints give your home a calm connection to nature while fitting smoothly into simple, modern rooms.
Simple Art Made from Local Memory
Brenda Myrick grew up loving the outdoors. She studied art and teaching at the University of Vermont, learning how colors work together on canvas.
Working from her home studio in Bristol, Brenda paints the changing seasons using wide brushes, paint knives, and soft color layers.
- Soft Texture: Raised paint catches room light, making the picture look different as sunlight changes throughout the day.
- Earth Colors: Deep forest greens, soft blues, warm browns, and cloud greys blend together easily.
- Open Lines: Long horizontal strokes suggest hills and open fields, making small rooms feel larger and brighter.
Easy Ways to Warm Up Plain Walls
Many modern homes have plain white walls, smooth floors, and simple furniture. While this looks clean, big rooms can sometimes feel cold or empty.
An abstract nature painting works like a soft focal point for your room. It adds warm colors and natural shapes without cluttering your space.
"A good nature painting does not just show a place. It reminds you of how nice it feels to stand outdoors."
A large wide picture looks great above a living room couch or fireplace. Smaller square paintings bring soft color to entryways, home offices, and bedrooms.
Simple Options for Every Room
Finding the right art for your home should be easy. Our online store offers two simple choices:
-
Original Studio Paintings: One of a kind oil and acrylic paintings made on strong wood or canvas. Each original comes signed by Brenda and ready to hang on your wall.
- Fine Art Prints: Printed on thick cotton paper or canvas using clear, long lasting inks. These prints match the colors of our original paintings at a lower price point.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is abstract nature art different from other abstract art?
Other abstract art uses random shapes and colors that do not look like anything real. Abstract nature art uses soft lines, sky colors, and earth tones to remind you of real mountains, fields, and rivers.
2. What is the best light for a textured painting?
Soft room light or warm lamp light works best. Light coming from the side helps show the raised paint strokes and gives your picture nice depth.
3. Does my painting need to match my furniture?
No, your picture does not need to match your couch or rug exactly. Natural greens, greys, and soft blues go well with almost any wood finish or wall color.
4. Can I put a frame on an abstract canvas painting?
Yes. Our stretched canvases look great in simple wood frames. Many people like floater frames, which leave a small gap around the picture so it looks like it is floating inside the frame.
5. How do I clean dust off my canvas art?
Dust your painting gently using a dry, soft brush or a feather duster. Never use wet towels, water, or spray cleaners on painted canvas.
