A Bit of Abstract

 

This month we are exploring different kinds of abstraction
in the MDN class.
It’s inspiring and certainly a stretch for me.
I had a fun time with this experiment this week.

I’d done this earlier this summer and used it as a reference.

My intention was to remove details, similar sized shapes,
and concentrate on combining values.
I did this crazy thing quickly on my I pad
over the image of the above painting.

That was such a surprise, I used it as my reference
to paint over an old painting.
I just kept making subtle changes in color and value.
At one point I realized I had to crop it
to get rid of the same size shapes!
(Thanks MDN).

Here it is again.
Title ideas anyone?
