Mary Lou, I just love these paintings. Semi-abstract is my favorite type of painting. I should say that it's my favorite type of painting as a viewer, since I haven't ever painted anything like this before. All I can say is: stunning!  :clap: :clap: :clap:

Mary Lou your abstracts are gorgeous, so colourful and in the first one I saw a bird with wings outstretched.  Interesting.  Oh! By the way, when I was busy with the Venice painting I thought about you and your line washes for I thought that the Venice painting would lend itself perfectly to what you do so well.  I would love to see you give it a try.  Patricia

Thank you Dennis and Val.....I see the ice cream cone and fish and flower in the corner.  Dennis, I used to play that scribble game as a kid.  We would scribble and then make something out of it.  You brought back such a good memory!!

Good training in creativity and imagination - both needed for better painting O0

Wow!  I really like all your abstracts, Mary Lou.   :clap: :clap: :clap:


Before I was introduced to abstract painting here on Paintbasket, I didn't care for them.  My brain has done a huge turnaround.   :D

I am enjoying this class.  I hope to post the abstract Rooster soon.  While I am in the process of putting it together, I have posted an abstract of some flowers I drew on watercolor paper sprinkled with salt.

TheBryce,

As Arte Johnson would say, V-e-r-r-r-y Interesting.  I am still to new at this hobby to dry things so different.

Love the way the salt makes the colors flow.
