Yet another abstract here. I'm painting and posting these little pieces while I tend to my dog's moment-to-moment needs as she enters the final phase of her life, which swallows up my time. These freeform pieces are informative to me, though, as they follow a subconscious pattern. And it's fun to just play with color with no thought given to outcome.
This little freeform ditty was inspired by admiring a neighbor's garden this morning that contained multiple stalks of gorgeous Mexican sunflowers.
A flower painting which looks like the end of summer to me. I'm already mourning the imminent loss.
Another to add to my series of floral abstracts using palette knife and other tools but no brushes.
Yet another in a series of female portraits paired with little birds. Again, I went over my time limit of 2 hours with this one, which clocked in at 2.5 hours. These portraits are mostly done with a palette knife, eliminating the possibility of refined detail work.
I started with the idea of painting a deconstructed American flag, and this is what I ended up with.
