Abstract painting - what is it all about? I don't totally understand its affect on people (myself included) but, like all artwork, it grabs the spirit of the viewer. A bit like capturing someone's soul. I find painting abstracts interesting to attempt. They don't always work for me but then someone will look at one of these abstracts and find deep meaning in what they see. So I keep experimenting with the shapes and color trying to "feel" what works. It's a feeling abstracts emote rather than a thought. It's all paint to me. Just another reason to pick up a brush or maybe a palette knife and have some fun!
Some paintings have note cards available. I make them on lovely matte photo paper.

"City" When an idea appears, an abstract painting is a wonderful way to create an idea. Don't know where this city is but I think I would like to live there.

"Pink and Blue Abstract" Red, pink, more read, more pink. I started with a color and just played. I'm never sure where I'm going with an abstract. There's a feeling of where things should go. I don't have a "why."

"Red and Gold Abstract" Again, that red. Probably my favorite color to paint with. sometimes I'm just in a red paint mood. This reminds me of fire.

"White with Red Slash" There's another painting under this. I love painting over paintings that don't quite work. This took quite a lot of paint using brush and palette knife. I wanted a white painting. And then it called out for some red.

"Abstract Belly Dancer"
Wanted some energy, some twirling, some red. I love belly dancing and belly dancers.

"Cleaning My Palette" Couldn't think of what to call this but, after finishing another painting, there was all this pretty paint left on my palette. Couldn't let it go to waste. This actually feels very calming and I'm always surprised at how much I love it.

"Wind Dancer" Another paint-over. Wonder what's underneath. Decided to put this ghostly dancer on at the end. Hmm......
