Painting is my one true love. Let's talk Landscapes.

Okay, friends. I know it's been a while, but I have a really good excuse--all my free time now goes to working on paintings for my two classes. I'm taking oil painting and watercolor. I like them both, but I prefer acrylic over either one.

My last couple of projects in my oil painting class are a landscape and a painting of my choice. For now I've decided to do an abstract landscape for the painting of my choice. I think I'll paint the top picture shown below for the traditional landscape painting, and I'm still trying to decide which landscape to abstract.

Any opinions? Are there any of these that you would or definitely wouldn't ever put on your walls? Since my taste in art is less representational I thought I could take the most traditional landscape (one of the two bottom photos) and abstract it--sort of paying homage to the tradition, but messing with it a little.

And I also applied for an internship in the Education department at the Springville Museum of Art. I'll let you know how it all turns out.
