Sometimes I paint abstract pictures, just for the fun of watching the paint move and flow, granulate and absorb - and dry in whichever pattern it chooses.
Of course, I do have input, I place the colours where I want, I choose to tip the paper so they can flow into each other, and I place either salt or wax on the paper to change or inhibit flow.
Overall though, I won't know if I like what I've done until it dries.
Every one I have done so far, I have liked.
If I look at them deeply, I see many things in them. That's what I like about abstracts.
My title painting is one, using salt as an absorber of paint to help create those lovely patterns.
Here's another :
This one was done as a gift for our local doctor, as a thank you .
I love this one, you can see so much in it .

ReplyDeleteI can see sea creatures, ice crystals and the new day for starters. It's fun to look at.
It is fun to look at, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI can see the underwater world with all the sea anemones swirling - and also many comets swirling around the Universe.
Every time I look at it, I see something different.
