My Experience

Abstract paintings must be realized from the soul through each color and brush stroke loosely painted onto the canvas. With much practice I learned that perfection in such a painting is a flaw.

When I first began painting in abstract, my left brain was constantly screaming that it wanted perfection. I continaully changed a beautiful stroke into something I could recognize until I finally realized the need to let my right brain take over. 

One stroke at a time, I finally saw the light! I understood the need to let the paint and brush create in the moment what my soul wanted to express. I came to paint abstract from my point of view. 

Learning to rely on my right brain to paint in abstract opened a new creative world for me that brought a greater freedom to paint freely.

I still love to paint the likeness of things, people and animals, but in an abstract realism way.  Soon, I'll be sharing my abstract art on this page.

I also love to visit art museums and galleries to view the work of the old masters and contemporary artists. It's especially exciting to see artistic voices through abstract art. 

I love that an abstract painting can be interpreted differently by everyone who views it. Not only can the experience bring out a person's preferences for color and form, but it can also release hidden emotions and inspiring thoughts that feed the soul and imagination.

Conclusion

When it comes to art or anything, it's possible to create something that doesn't visually exist. 

There is so much within all of us that goes beyond our daily esperiences that we can use to enhance our lives, families and careers.
