play days

This is 12x 12 acrylic on paper which I will later mount on canvas. Another for the "cycles" group - this started with a gessoed surface and texture stamps with further work on the circles so that there are both positive and negative shapes flowing through the whole.

I don't think I'm cut out for abstract.

Patty! you really haven't given it a real chance - AND you might be trying to run before you have learned to walk! The process bogs you down at the moment - you need to look at abstracts the same way as more representational works; balance in shape and value; contrast in texture and line - just some examples - it's tougher to think about all of it with abstract - takes time to adjust. Keep it simple for now - like your snow scenes - they work and are semi abstract - there you go.
