After taking Karlyn's abstract workshop (I have really neglected all my collage principles I haven't done in over 3 years!!! LOL), I decided to try a bit of something wth my failed color sanding. I stared at the shapes and the colors and the mass reminded me of the woods (surprise!! LOL) -- and so I added the trees to attempt a semi-abstract painting.
I have another one of these 'not quite successful' pieces .. and I"m waiting for it to 'speak' to me for the next step ... Thus far,all I'm getting is silence! LOL
It snowed a bit yesterday -- merely flurries and the 'teasing' of those dark, heavy clouds amid sunshine and bright pink rays ... absolutely beautiful skies! But mercy, I don't think my hands have thawed out yet!
Stay warm everyone!
Good Morning Lin... It's cold here today in the south too but no snow. I loved todays painting... The colors and style are awesome... Great job on it... Have a great day...

This piece is shouting "success" to me.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm glad I looked at the first one because this is just wonderful with the additions.
ReplyDeleteWow; now this is what I call a masterful "save." It's beautiful and looks exactly like you intended it this way from the beginning. Bravo!

This is wonderful! Looks soft, mysterious, magical. An illustration from a children's book? Could be!
ReplyDeleteLin, this is a perfect and inspiring start .......LOVE the look so far! I am sure it will end up being just magical......you are wonderful! Hugs,Patti
ReplyDeleteI love your tree abstract!!! Great save!
ReplyDeleteNow that is being an artist, turning one piece that you're not happy with into something much better. Ithink it's lovely
ReplyDeleteAnother success, Lin. Bravo!
