Creativity takes courage

 

\

Whatever your medium, 

whatever your talents, DO IT!

I am in my phase of acrylic painting.

I am a color person, I feel color.  I am not a 'color inside the lines' person and I have always gravitated to abstract art even when using true to life topics.  One technique uses palette knives and scraping, brushes and water.  The other uses pencils, paints, scribblings, mark-making tools.

This piece is titled - Fall Drive in Pennsylvania.

If you look closely you can see a stream, in PA, we call it "a crick" flowing and the vertical trees with leaves of gold and orange.

Below, a work in progress titled ~ Marrakesh Market

I will do some pencil or pen work on this one.

I am taking two classes presently one with Paulette Insall (work above) and the other with Tracy Verdugo, both abstract artists.   They use very different techniques with different results yet both being abstract.

This one is from a class with Tracy Verdugo, titled Meandering.

Practice being FREE and LOOSE

Play with texture and color.

Next time I will show you a progression of work in process from a blank canvas to a finished piece.

Thanks for stopping by,
