Abstract Painting May Be Intuitive, But is Still a Process

The wonderful thing (for me) about abstract work is the start. Putting down the first marks and brush strokes are magical moves. I’m not trying to paint a pretty picture. I don’t have an idea in mind. I may not even know what colors I’ll use.

First Layers

Sometimes adding marks and paint and textures changes the painting in ways I don’t like.

Adding layers

Sometimes I feel the painting is near completion until I stand back and study what I have for compostion and movement. Sometimes I don’t entriely like what I see.

Hmmm…

I’ll keep working on this, but now with focus on what it can be. Stay tuned.
