Jeremy Mann - American


Noon Down Leavenworth, Oil on Panel, 10 x 13 inches, 2008

This work successfully captures the haze obscuring objects in the distance. Tonal contrasts are much greater in the foreground.

The canvases and boards sold in art supply shops are usually formatted to standard golden rectangles, but formats stretched in the horizontal can be more interesting, and better evoke the vastness of a landscape.

Fleurieu Landscape Competition


Morgan Allender, Evensong Gordon River,
Oil on Linen, 137 x 168 cm

These two Australian works are nearly monochrome. Australian artists have been greatly influenced by Chinese and Japanese ink landscape paintings.
