From last weeks sepia tones, I’m jumping right into bright surreal colors using abstract presentation or better known as fauvism. The style dates back to the early 20th Century with French painters. For more information – Wikipedia/Fauvism.
The prints represent landscapes as subject matters, from New England, Colorado and the Puget Sound. So I’ll work my way from east to west.
This first one is a seaside resort in Bar Harbor, Maine near Arcadia National Park.
Next we move down to Boston. This scene is the pond in Boston Public Gardens famous for the swan paddle-boats. Boston Public Gardens is located next to Boston Commons and is well renowned for their numerous flower gardens.
Heading west, we find ourselves on Lake Dillon in Colorado. The first one is the marina on Lake Dillon with the second one the other side of the lake. We go from numerous boats docked to a single speedboat and sailboat enjoying the serenity of that side of the lake.
And last but not least, Friday Harbor on San Juan Island off the coast of the state of Washington.

Lovely images with surreal colouring.
Thank you very much! I appreciate you stopping by and commenting! Have a great weekend!
What a great trip across the US. Fabulous colours.
Thanks Darlene….you’re right from the NE coast to the NW coast. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and for the feedback! Have a great weekend!
These are wonderful, Kirt. I’ve been to a few of these places, and it’s very interesting to see them depicted this way. I love the resort in Maine!
Fauvism certainly creates a different look to a subject matter! I appreciate the feedback! Have a great weekend!!
I really love the orange trees, and the middle 2 mountain scenes. The purple doesn’t hurt! lol
Knew you would appreciate the purple!😎 thanks for the feedback…have a great weekend!
😉 My pleasure! You too!
Wonderful to see the bold and bright colors, Kirt, and a treat to see so many lovely outdoor U.S. spots.
It is a bold technique and one has to appreciate a bold abstract type style with fauvism. Glad you stopped by! Have a great weekend!
This is a fun technique Kirt. I prefer the images of Bar Harbor and Dillon Lake marina. The fauvism looks better to me with buildings than pure nature scenes.
Thanks for the feedback Brad…much appreciated! Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!!
Thanks Kirt. I actually have a weekend to enjoy for a change! Enjoy yours too.
Those are beautiful Kirt! I especially love the ones of Colorado.😊 God bless!
Thank you very much Ryan for the compliment! Appreciate hearing from you! You have been on my mind, hope all is well! I will stop by your blog to get caught up! Blessings!
Nice and different pictures, Kirt 🙂
I think, those colorful pictures need a big white wall to really show their beauty.
They would definitely stand out on a bright white wall! Thanks for the feedback and for stopping by!
You have a marvelous way with your digital art, Kirt! My “experiments” with saturated Fauvist style art is usually something really imbalanced, yours have a really pleasing integrity, nice! 😊
Thank you very much for the feedback…..mine is a number of years of trial and error 🙂 I appreciate the feedback! Have a great week!
The little I’ve done digitally tells me those were pretty intensive trial and error years! And I bet you’ve never stopped experimenting! 😊
Always experimenting 😎
Oh yes! And, very cool 😊
So incredibly beautiful, Kirt! This country is an amazing feast for the eyes! And you are most blessed to have seen so many wonderful places and capture them with your lens. Hope this Sunday is relaxing and peaceful.
Thank you very much Lorrie! it is a beautiful country and I have been blessed throughout my life to have seen most of it! Blessings to you! Thanks for stopping by!
Wow Kirt, these are beautiful! Now I have to do some research on Fauvism, I love it!

Beautiful and vibrant Kirt. The first is my favourite. Perhaps a bit more realism than the others. Gorgeous work as always.
Thanks Sue! I appreciate the feedback! Thanks for stopping by…have a great week!!
I love all your work, but the bright-coloured Fauvism pieces are my favourites! I particularly like the marina with the pink sky! 🙂
Thank you for your kind words, Diane!! Much appreciated!! The style is certainly bright and colorful. I always have fun seeing what works from my shots and what doesn’t. A lot of trial and error, but love doing it!
Really beautiful Kirt!! The colors are a glistening!💕❤️☕️😎☕️
