...and maybe gardens will spring from chaos...

Hi, I'm new here... I was on Wetcanvas a long time ago, but doesn't seem there's much going on there anymore.

I did this in 2021...18x24, mixed media (soft pastel, oil pastel, graphite, colored pencil) on paper. Looking for feedback/comments. Thank you!

Wow, the colors are so bold and rich! Yes, those marks in the foreground are certainly suggestive of riotous plant life. And what I see as the sky is layered and very atmospheric. I love the title too. Yeah, this is beautiful! Thanks for joining us here and for sharing your work with us

I am loving this. The colours, the balance of colours, and the marks are suggestive. Welcome!

The pot is boiling but I missed the boiling point. Still very nice color within color.

Wow this is beautiful! The colors are great and there’s a real sense of energy. I think the title fits perfectly! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

I like this. Especially those little touches of red and light blue.
I also like the delicate line work.

I echo a lot of the sentiments here, and WELCOME to the site! I hope you post more of this kind of extraordinary work. This is just gorgeous. It is balanced and has great movement. Beautiful palette that is not too bright. Just perfect.

IMO, This piece sings and dances in space! To me, The strokes look well placed with purpose, not random, but with deliberate layers of color and line.

Welcome, Mindy! I used to be on Wetcanvas too many years ago. I like your color choices in this work, and the abstract forms are very appealing, like a fantasy garden against the sky.

Welcome, Mindy! I love your piece! Abstract art both confuses and delights me, by turns - I haven't studied it and don't produce it. I only know that it can really be wonderful, like this piece here. ❤ The colors are beautiful and it's soothing to look at.

I hope you enjoy the forum!
