Going in Circles

2023 June – Circles – 18″x34″

My art tends to be pretty representational – it looks like something, usually something in nature.  You don’t have to guess what I was going for.  It’s a tree or flowers or a beach.  Once in a while, I wander out of my comfort zone into the world of abstract art. It’s hard for me because my mind wants to make the piece look like something.  But when I embrace the abstract and let go, there is a freedom that comes when it doesn’t have to look like something.  It’s just whatever comes out of my head that day.  Sometimes, when I play in abstract-land, I make something I like.  This is one of those.  Sometimes it turns out really bad (and you will never see those!)  But the playing itself was good for me, pushed me a little. And the next time I wander there, I have more fun.
