Well, it's been unseasonably warm here in New England, so I thought I'd return to my roots and paint a WINTER scene! This one is a variation on "long winter shadows", and is 11x14 in size. Ahh...I feel cooler already!
I didn't really ever think about "abstraction" until I organized my work in my computer library. Some of my big paintings that didn't work out had sections that I saved because of the fun shapes, colours etc. You seem to have a sense of the design of things that makes your compositions quite interesting and to me this one and the crayon one (and probably more) seem to be almost abstract.
thanks ron..and it's funny, no matter HOW hard I try, I can't produce a truly ABSTRACT painting...like the ones w/titles like "SPOT"...I'm a scientist by trade, so I think very analytically and very concretely! Glad these have a bit of an abstract feel..maybe I'll get it someday!

ReplyDeleteMine were abstract by default, yours seem to achieve a very effective semi abstract quality.
