New! Change/New Beginnings Challenge

[PaintBoss]

Hi everyone.
This ABSTRACT challenge is for everyone.
This challenge will last 4 weeks.
The medium is your choice.
Be experimental if you want to. It could even be created with found objects!

Well, the seasons are changing. A hard winter is on the way out, and Spring is on the way in here in Canada.
We also have had a change and new beginning here at Creative Spark.
So this theme has been on my mind…
Change/New Beginnings
Please use that as a theme or a jumping off point to get into your contemporary / abstract piece.
We love to see people trying for the first time. Don’t be intimidated. And for those who have a little more experience, please give it a go!
This is where we have fun.
I hope you will all join me. I would absolutely love to see what you come up with, however you choose to interpret and express this theme.
Let’s have fun!
~ Christine

Fantastic!

I took an old classical romantic and turned it into painterly so it's out with the old and in with the new. Painted it yesterday.

I can see the classical bones of this one and I like the painterly look you gave it! That’s a great concept and a fun way to interpret older works.

 

[Terri]

Beautiful - and it does look very soft, painterly and even romantic in this scene!

Gorgeous work, Wayne!

What a lovely painting Enyaw! I can’t believe you put that together so quickly.
The only thing is, and I hate to tell you this after such a lovely painting, is I think everyone has not realized this is the abstract challenge forum. But gosh darn it I like your painting so much I will give it an honorary space. Under the heading “too good to turn down!” If anyone is looking for an idea for their abstract, maybe they could use this painting as an inspiration, if they want.
Enyaw, I know it’s not your thing, but the challenge is still for change /new beginnings. A perfect time to try that in something abstract? There are a lot of styles for abstract art if you want to look them up. They are in the description of the abstract challenge category. I think it could be a fun challenge for you!

thanks all. Shame on me. Back to the drawing board. You can move it to acrylics if you like.

 

[Terri]

I can’t believe you put that together so quickly.

Wayne's near-daily output is kind of awe-inspiring - I don't know how he works at this level every day.

@Enyaw - acrylics, then? I'll be happy to place it in there!

Thank you Terri
