BLUE ABSTRACT   8 x 10

This abstract I entitle "Which Side is Up?" As a novice with abstraction, I had fun with the paints by applying it with a palette knife to add heavy texture. You might interpret a variety of things in this painting: could it be petals floating downward... or fish floating upward... or what? I hope you like it.

ABSTRACT   8x10

My first abstract has lots of color and it probably breaks all the 'rules' for abstract paintings. This is a small portion of an attractive fabric and I wanted to capture the colors and rhythm. I asked some young people what they saw in it. One said, "A parakeet," and another said, "a lady's shoe." Frankly, I see a fruit salad. What do YOU see?
