I started without a plan, but inspired by Michael Lang, and followed Leandra's advice to "go big", OK not as big as Michael, but a 30x40cm panel I prepared by recycling a stiff piece of cardboard (a watercolour pad's backing) and a linen shirt!
I would describe my painting process to you if I could remember but.... anyway it'd be boring and not particularly instructive. Essentially I tinkered... with this colour, that colour (all Fresco paints of course), some glaze... I attempted a circle like Mr Lang but didn't finish it...
Didn't know where to go next but suddenly I "saw" something and picking up that impression, I went with the flow and added a bit of texture with a palette knife just to test out my latest acquisitions from my prize win last week... (thick gel medium BTW).
So here is my abstract in the 4 orientations it could go.
Which one do you prefer, A,B,C or D? Do you "see" something in any one of them? Answers in the comments please....
Here's the one that I chose although I couldn't explain why! I've managed to take this photo in the sun so the colours are a lot truer to life than the above.
Hope you have a great Sunday,
Also entering the We Love 2 Create challenge.
Just blown away Christine this is an amazing piece of artwork, well done.

This is real lush Christine, the abstract design works so beautifully with the colours, hard to decide a favorite but perhaps 'c', seems to work with my need for orderly right handed work.

ReplyDeleteMoi qui ne suis pas très peinture abstraite pourtant, là j'adore BRAVO. Bisous
Beyond stunning - absolutely the right orientation - couldn't be any of the others in my eyes. I would expect to see this on the wall of a very upmarket gallery - amazing.
