#93 4/28/19 Another Abstract Attempt

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.
