Bugs Buzzing

As I continue to play with abstraction, my need to add 'whimsey' keeps sneaking
into the painting.  This time it sort of took over as I kept adding dragon flies and lady bugs!  (My Muse made me do it!)  I wanted to catch a bit of the chaotic beauty found in Nature.  Using simple repeating patterns, textures, and color I am trying to  invite the viewer into mood, a place, and  a smile.

Abstract thinking lingers.

This painting, "Tree in Pink", was painted a few months ago....I was focusing on
composition, color, repeating simple shapes and stopped when I liked it.
Today, I find myself looking at it through a different lens, as the temperature is now
below 20 degrees and Fall is being ravished by the first snowy  winter storm.  "Tree in Pink" is looking more like a "Frosty Kiss to Fall".

Abstract Play!!!

I've been absorbed in exploring  the world of abstract painting.  And because I
need some sort of anchor in my work, I decided to circle around a few important concepts for me....they are:  organic, pattern, random, symbolic, pleasing, composition,  texture, mood,.....the list morphs and matures as I explore.  I love
dancing with my Muse.
