Abstract

My god doing abstract art never ends, i mean i didnt know when to call it 'done' ! :( i didnt know where to stop. I wasnt motivated enough by any of the photographs at the moment, so i thought let me try some abstract painting for a change ( as usual jump start which ever came to mind)  . And, cool !! Its quite interesting, doing 'abstract art'.  If you notice, you can see how the color/texture changes have an effect on the "emotion" of the painting. ofcourse its a hackneyed comment about abstract painting. The thing i felt new here is, the elusive control you want on the expression of the painting, finding yourself and 'finding the painting' and that too precisely and subconsciously ( ofcouse mine is far from subconscious , on the other hand its overtly conscious, ofcouse i'd forgive a starter :D ) , and to experience the control and unleash it on the painting precisely at your whim, is what makes it interesting and difficult to master. Check the below abstract i tried. quite an old style, nevertheless for a first i think was good enough. I have attached a few transition pics too. Try to pic the mood in each transition stage. The end painting is far far far from what i wanted or would like . Still i had to end it, perhaps i dnt know why or dnt want to say, or dnt care enough which ever way. ;) Too heady, isnt it  ! :)
