From Abstract to Beach Dunes!


If you read my post below then you know I had an unsuccessful evening painting an abstract. Not one to be defeated or to waste a good piece of Art Spectrum paper....I decided to turn the disaster into a dune scene. I sprayed the whole thing with alcohol and used a sponge brush to spread the pastel. I actually kind of liked it at this point and maybe I'll try to do onother abstract this way. But I could 'see' dunes and clouds on the paper so I went ahead and brought the scene in my head to life. That was fun!

I like your landscapes and your colors. Abstracts are not easy. I have tried starting with a white canvas, painting nothing and it ends up with figures anyway. I don't have them in my blog.. yet, because they are so different both in colors and looks.
