Day 4. An Abstract

Raiders  6x6 Oil on panel


Abstraction.  It looks easy to do.
This is the most common art that people look at and say "I can do that!"  Well, so can I.  The difference is that I did do it.

For me the key components to abstract art is:
One, it's has to be immediately visually compelling.
Two, the colors have to work together and be beautiful.
Three, it has to have little things.  Little placements of meaningful colors. Things the artist added that makes the piece purposeful.
Four, I need to look at it and say, "I could never reproduce that if I tried."

Without the above it's just smeared paint.

Completed January 4th.
