PAINTINGS BY MARTIN GLADSTONE

VIEW ART HERE. BUY ART IN THE ART STORE . THANKS

After practicing law for over 30 years, I could not wait to be outdoors and paint the beauty of nature.  

Art softens the soul and opens the eyes.  It changes the channel.

Time with nature melts away stress from a complex and digital world. 

The beauty that surrounds us creates calm and reflection which I hope comes across in the feeling of my work. 

These paintings are the first in a series. The next series of my paintings will be posted shortly.   

All works are for sale in the ART STORE section and more works will be continually added.  The sales help fund the cost of making the music. (cough cough).

Please scroll down to see some of my art for sale which I hope finds a place with you.  

If you decide that the art does not work in your space or its not for you, a full refund will be provided never a problem!

Thanks Martin

CANADA GEESE IN FALL (SOLD)

Acrylic on Canvas

The rugged landscape is Canada and the open sky and dominance of blue is to feel vastness. The Canada Geese are the movement and the only movement and capture the energy of a vast and beautiful country.

DON VALLEY RIVER TORONTO IN SPRING

Acrylic on Canvas

The Don river flows through the ravines of Toronto to lake Ontario. The river is unassuming and neglected but in the spring it is wonderful to walk beside and feel the departure of winter and the warmth of the new season.   The off purples and yellows are meant to capture the vibrancy of rebirth and a new season even when the river is a stone's throw from an urban environment.

FENCE AND FIELDS TWEED ONTARIO

Acryclic on Canvas

North of Tweed ON is the small hamlet of FLINTON and down forgotten country roads one finds pure quiet and stillness and calm. This picture was frozen in my head of an old fence with a lost field of some sort behind it. The sky shows the fading light and the sense of endless distance common in Canada. 

16" by 24"

FERN SPIRITS

Acrylic on Canvas

From a shade garden, this painting has fern and foliage spirits dancing  like a scene from Dicken's Christmas Carol. It both haunts and soothes but never tires.   If you gaze at it for a while you may see images of spirits.

ICELAND GLACIERS

Acrylic on Canvas

The influence of Canadian artist and group of seven member Lawren Harris is all too present in this painting of a glacier in Iceland.  But it was wonderful to try and capture the majesty of what you see and feel when you lay eyes on an Icelandic glacier.  You can be absorbed by the raw beauty and lineal feeling forever and feeling nature in shapes can feel very natural.

ICELAND NEAR GULLFOSS

Acrylic on Canvas

Not only are the Gullfoss falls in Iceland spectacular and unspoiled and thankfully undeveloped (poor Niagara), the dramatic scenery is captivating in both starkness and beauty. The greens, blues, and greys make the land feel dramatic but alive and welcoming at the same time.   

SOLD!
