Over the summer, I made sure to find some time to paint. I had two very large canvases (4′ by 2′) that had been sitting in my dungeon studio for some time. They were begging for some color. I decided to try my hands at painting abstractly.
Basically, my process involved picking a color, picking a spot on the canvas and painting. Once the canvas was covered in color, I also Jackson Pollocked the painting as well (splattered paint on it) . I had no image of a finished project in my mind, I was just painting to enjoy myself. I used regular brushes, wine corks, and paint. I was surprised by how much I loved the results. I did each of these in a few hours, on pretty days about a week apart.
My brother claimed the blue one when he saw it, and I painted the second one with my sister in mind. I believe it’s hanging above her sofa in her new apartment. I really like these, but even more than the resulting products, I enjoyed this process of painting with no rules.
You’re very talented. Those are great!
Wow, prints of those should be on sale at corner art stores.
They both cause me to feel water. Ocean on top, koi pond on bottom. What do they cause you to feel?
