Attempt at Abstraction

Categories: Potpourri

attemptatabstraction

This is, as the name indicates, my first attempt at abstraction.  I bought some flat brushes and I wanted to make big bold sections of color.

I started without any particular plan, but quickly found myself less and less happy with it as I went on.  Overall, I’d say it’s a failure as a painting, but a success in that I am slowly learning more about controling my brushes, colors, and painting in general.

I’d call this one more of an exercise in control than a real attempt at abstraction.  I think I will continue to try painting in this style, to see what comes out.  I still have two more canvas panels.

See it BIG.

    What do you mean fail? This is awesome! I really like the part with the pink lima bean shape and the splash thing.
