My First Attempt at Abstract Art

 

I’ve decided that the ability to create abstract art would be a good one to have for my clients (who want art from an inexpensive, not-so-well-known artist!) and for another little endeavor that I have in the works. 

 

So, over the weekend, I got out my paintbrush, my kids’ acrylic paints, and went to work.  First attempt, not so good:

Something seemed to be missing.  (My kids could’ve done a better job—remember these?)  I let it sit overnight, studied some other paintings for inspiration and went back to work, painting over it.

 

Take 2:

Better, right?  I’m sure there’s some technique to this, but for my first try at abstract, I don’t think it’s totally terrible.  (Can you tell I attempted to make it look more professional by styling it with some accessories I had handy?)

I may have found my new hobby.  If for no one else, then just for my own enjoyment :)
