Green + blue background rev 2.1
Tue, November 2, 2010 at 01:31PM
The green and blue background returns for day two, but it's incognito. I kept looking at the squares of acrylic paint and turned the page around, and started to see it as a wall of abstract art. So I took an abstract watercolor I'd done a while ago (see watercolors + salt) and glued tiny pieces of that to the page, adding more squares and neocolors too. I don't think I'll add any journaling (where would I, even if I wanted to!) but the idea behind the page is that just a few years ago I didn't "get" anything out of abstract paintings. They made no sense to me. It was like the artist just splashed paint on and called it a painting. But now I adore many abstract paintings.

love the salt technique and the layer of images is giving depth!
What I like about ABSTRACT is the ability to just take in all the lovely colors and lines, I don't have to think too much!! Other art, that has identifiable work, always makes me think more....And sometimes I need a break from my own 'nawgin......Love the colors here :D
This reminds me of little shards of mirror ~ I like the layers of other other pieces incorporated in this.

It works!!! I like this...something I'd like to try!
This is absolutely stunning! Incredible!!!! Makes me want to go home to my studio and splash and play with Neocolors and watercolor! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love this! I keep scrolling back up and feeling as though I am looking into the windows of beautiful, lively, bold, colorful, creative spirits.
