New! Change/New Beginnings Challenge

I like cabbage, robots make me nervous. But I like this one Joe. (Maybe in the future they will find what human doctors miss).
Thank you for participating.
Enyaw, that is a dynamic piece again, but done differently. I can sense the free flow.

Thank you Christine. Too free flowing for my liking. It works as an abstract but it doesn’t offer me anything to hold on so I lose interest quicker than I should. I was going to dump the whole idea of following my series to it’s end or opening but I think
I may have found the next piece. I’ll take it to the Easle tomorrow and see if I’m panning for gold or just sand and pebbles.

There’s lots of room in abstract for more “anchoring” if that’s what you desire. I hope you’ll try all kinds of things. I look forward to seeing anything you come up with.
Abstract through the years
Click on the link and see some of the artists in styles they’re talking about. Lee Ellis has a foot in both worlds. Very powerful work. Even if it’s not something you’d put over your loveseat.
Abstract Art from Britannica
Again, so much to check out. But scroll down to expressionism. There’s different kinds of expressionism that is still considered abstract. There have been different waves of abstract art over the years. This might be more to your liking.

Christine, my block described. I need a lot of represented suggestion to form things to open the mind to what is and isn’t. Your jog reinforced my desire to shuffle the deck and paint what I like to paint instead of forcing my thoughts of what I thought abstract really is. I can work with abstract as long as it bends to me and not me to it. I’m not sure what you call what I am presently doing but it fills the hole of wanting to paint something I like. I’ll post tomorrow what I did this morning as I like the paint to settle before I photo it. I feel I have taken over the thread and if others feel the same please ask Terri to move me off to some corner where
I am less intrusive.

That’s great to hear Enyaw. There’s absolutely room for you in the abstract universe. You don’t have to follow anyone’s trends.
You’re not taking over this thread. I was hoping we’d have more interest. But I’m very glad you’re here and you’re taking this to heart. I like to broaden people’s idea of abstract or art in general, and what they can do. Besides exploring and taking new leaps, it’s about finding your way and pushing forward and seeing where it takes you.
