Abstract Fun

 Abstract art is intriguing...  I  like it's playfulness.  I like the way colors and shapes can dance across a canvas.  But...  it is also challenging.  Challenging that it doesn't become too chaotic.  Challenging to incorporate elements and principles of good design.  

I've done some abstract work in the past - and I enjoy it... but there are still many things I am learning about my own voice in abstraction.  

This painting has not title.  It is acrylic on cradled board.  It's given me more ideas to explore!

Radiant! Sunflowers

 Sunflowers are one of my favorites!  And at the end of the summer, they always make an appearance in my art.  Their colors are varied but vibrant, their shapes range from large to small.  Even their centers are different in size and color.  

This small painting is quite textured, and though the warm colors of gold and yellow green predominate, the undertones of blue and purple are also seen.
