June ’26 Monthly Landscape Mix is part of my ongoing Monthly Landscape Mix series — a year-long exploration of landscapes inspired by the changing seasons.

This collection includes 38 loosely painted digital landscape backgrounds which explore the warmth, openness, and beauty of early summer. June brings long daylight hours, vibrant greens, and sunlit scenery, creating landscapes which feel bright, peaceful, and inviting.

Within this collection, you'll discover a thoughtfully varied mix of natural scenes including open countryside, tranquil lakes and rivers, forest interiors, rolling fields, distant mountain vistas, and coastal views. The landscapes reflect the easy rhythm of the season, with expansive skies, gentle, even light, and a sense of freedom that comes with the arrival of summer.

Painted in a loose and expressive digital style, these backgrounds are designed to provide atmosphere, depth, and creative flexibility. They are ideal for blending with photography subjects, wildlife imagery, portraits, and artistic compositions, while also serving beautifully as stand-alone scenic artwork.

The Monthly Landscape Mix series continues to evolve throughout the year, offering a fresh collection each month which celebrates the shifting colors, light, and moods of the natural world.

Mask your subject's photographic background away to blend right in with this variety of scenic backgrounds, creating new works of art featuring your favorite subject(s). Though these were designed by me to be used with animals and birds, they can also be used with people and other subjects. You can also use these backgrounds as the beginning for your digital paintings, whether hand painted or painted in various digital software.

Use these backgrounds "as is" to add a painterly feel to your photographs by placing them on a layer under your subject and masking away the subject's original background. Using your transform tool in your software, you can stretch them and position them exactly where you need them for your art. These also make wonderful beginning backgrounds for your digital paintings!
