Day 220 - La Rose - #365somethings2018 Trying for a loose, abstract rose. Photo reference @patty_szymkowicz . I was captivated by the texture of the surface the rose was on and by the light. An exercise in doing my expression of the photo. #indexcard #acrylics #larose #texture #lighting #expression #taleswithfriendsToo lazy for words. It's nice to doze in the sun. #lazy #dozinginthesun #saturdayafternoon #taleswithfriendsA sunny breezy October afternoon. It was great for our walk in the park. #sunny #october #sheba #walkinthepark #photochallenge #taleswithfriendsDay 219 - Whirlwind - #365somethings2018 When I'm stuck, my tree out the window is a good standby. All the leaves are shed but I thought I would dress it up. #indexcard #acrylics #tree #standby #taleswithfriendsDay 218 - Gilded Lily - #365somethings2018 I'm quite liking this 'abstracting'. It helps me to process my muddled feelings this morning - whatever they are. Pushing the paint around a little index card is smoothing out my rough edges and leaving them there. I hear Maya Angelou's 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' in my head. I wonder what that means. #indexcard #abstract #acrylics #gildedlily #inmyhead #processingfeelings #taleswithfriendsAnother cup of tea on the deck. 21 Celsius today. Life doesn't get better than this. 😊 #tea #onthedeck #warmday #lifedoesntgetbetterthanthis #taleswithfriendsDay 217 - Stardust - #365somethings2018 I've given up trying to understand how abstracts work. I choose a colour and put it on the page. I pick another colour and put it on the same page and so on and on. At first I see a Chinese character. But then I see someone kicking up their heels in a dance. Then there's the universe all around. I added some stardust to the mix. Glory be! I I love the process. #indexcard #abstract #acrylics #dancer #stardust #universe #ilovetheprocess #taleswithfriendsDay 216 - Halloween- #365somethings2018 Even though I don't like Halloween, it looks like I got a pumpkin and a ghost or goblin sitting on top of it. #indexcard #acrylics #abstractart #halloween #pumpkin #ghost #goblin #taleswithfriendsA few abstracts. Aren't they lovely? I wish I had painted them. They're my quilt squares I'm cutting up this morning. Maybe they will inspire me. #abstracts #fabric #quiltsquares #inspirations #taleswithfriendsDay 215 - Waterfall - #365somethings2018 The only time and way I can do abstract is when I don't try, when I'm just using up left over paint. I can't deliberately set out to make marks. What kink of marks - squares, circles, lines? Big, little, straight, wavy? Too much to think of. So I just clean my brush off however. Sometimes it looks good. Most times it look like hell. Then I moosh the paint around,add some other mediums and more acrylic, different colours- till it looks sorta pleasing. I suppose that is what is meant by intuitive. #Indexcard #abstract #intuitive #acrylics #inktenseblocks #taleswithfriends
