the process of abstraction (more blobs)


This one isn't quite finished either. Im not sure what to do next. I feel really odd about this one and I don't know how it's going to turn out. I guess this is what they call the process of abstraction.




Kind of a really bad picture, but you can tell where this peice is going...just using geometric shapes as a type of underpainting to really emphasize the blobs..

(I hate to call them "blobs" but Im all out of sophisticated terms for these things)

the process of abstraction (the blobs)

Meet the blobs!
I think I have more of an appreciation for abstract art because of the whole creative process that each artist uses to come up with new abstract peices.
My abstract paintings started out as bruises but now they have developed into something different. I see these paintings turning into abstract spills with unexpected colors... I'm still experimenting with other media and I'll have a few more peices to photograph as well..




Keep in mind these guys aren't done yet so if I dont like how they're turning out, then I might just gesso over them..
But so far, Im diggin them..
Im doing a lot of underpainting in this one so that I can kinda see how the color will play out against the blobs..
