I got trapped in some abstract painting themes while perusing Pinterest today on my break at work. Without looking at anything directly in front of me, I attempted an abstract tonight....mainly to use up the paint on the palette from the Toothpick Man just prior. But also to see what would happen if I just winged it. Many of the examples I looked at earlier in the day gave a feel that there was a distant horizon, so I tried to incorporate that idea. I also tried to make the paint thicker. I didn't get out the impasto, however....and the purple (from a Hobby Lobby tube, sorry) just wanted to disappear into the canvas and then show the canvas weave, regardless of how much paint was there. I mixed in some high quality burnt sienna...still too thin, oh well. I figured tiny abstracts wouldn't work, but alas this is tiny, only 3x5 inches. I'll reassess whether I still like it tomorrow, maybe add more paint.
