Open Spaces

This evocative acrylic painting, Open Spaces, embodies the vastness and tranquillity of unspoiled landscapes, with a rich and earthy palette on a 24 x 24-inch canvas.

One striking element is the open, inviting horizon, suggesting endless possibility and freedom. The low vantage point emphasizes the openness of the scene, drawing the viewer into its calm.

Schaefer’s use of warm tones, including rusts and ochres, captures the richness of the land, evoking the sense of grounding and strength found in nature’s expanses.

Soft, blended brushstrokes give the landscape a dreamlike quality, allowing textures to melt into each other gently. This technique amplifies the sense of calm and serenity, highlighting the artist’s love for natural vistas.
