I tend to stick to floral inspirations, and paint them so loose that they loose their identity. I have had a go at a field of poppies, trying to get the greens and reds fresh and interesting and have added a bit of the well-used d'oily idea to give it some texture and interest. I thought I had taken a picture of the original wash, but either must be day dreaming or have accidently deleted it, so I am sorry I cannot share that with you.
I do not think my tentative efforts are any threat to those who are professional Abstract Artists, but as I have said so many times, sometimes the end result is less important than having fun with a some paints!
'Poppy Abstract'
If there is any effect in the picture you would like to know more about, please ask.
A favorite flower of mine and I love how it is the addition of the collage bits that are giving the depth of colour and form, a nice abstract to me

I've spent a long time looking at this and eventually decided that it's something of a curate's egg. On the one hand I love the loose washes which seem to me to be both impressionistic and abstract but the other issue for me is the collage additions. When I ask myself what they contribute I can only answer that they produce a dissonance that I cannot resolve for myself. Is their intent a comment on the difference between the natural and manufactured world?
ReplyDeleteNot sure what to answer Mick. No deep philosophical reasons for what I did, just an attempt to get my head around abstract thinking by trying to meet the concept half way. The collage is there to represent the three-dimentionality of the subject. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for taking so much time to look at the work
