Word on Wednesday is Abstraction
Well, lookie here, another painting found it's way out of my brain. Imagine that? How quick was this one? I almost can't believe it myself. As I was finishing the last still life watercolor painting, this one was calling me to be worked on.
After I found a small section of those photos that seemed pleasing, and as soon as I released the last work from the watercolor block, I started in on this piece. There was a bit of a challenge keeping the white of the paper as the highlight on the fruits, but I did my best. I'm comfortable with the outcome, and painting this was work.
The colors feel different than the last few pieces, as well as the shapes. Something is changing, I can feel a difference. Abstraction seems to be taking hold as the shapes get larger.
I'm just going to go with the flow.
