Thinking Abstractly

 

Since the world feels like it’s upside down,
I quess this is as good a time as any to experiement with abstracts.
I’m getting inspired by on-line classes, pinterest and
books on abstract painting;
Jane Davies’ Abstract Painting in particular.
After a long walk in the woods yesterday,
I did these from memory.

These are both acrylic on paper.
I used a limited pallette of cad orange, cad yellow,
dioxide purple, red oxide and cobalt turguoise.
I also focussed on varying the shapes, lines and negative spaces.

This is a whole new world, literally and navigating it
in a positie way is a challenge.
More than ever, documenting my artistic journey gives me solace
and I welcome you along.
We can do this!
