The Love of Abstracts

Windswept Love

by Artist Rita Squier

Abstract Acrylic Painting

10 x 10 inch Canvas

With Valentine's Day on it's way, I decided to create an abstract painting along the same lines as my abstract seascape series but using the vibrant color of red. It has been created on a square 10 inch canvas that can be hung on a wall with or without a frame.

Fun Abstracts

There is something very appealing and fun about creating abstract paintings. I love to create abstracts using watercolors. I've done a bunch in acrylics too, which someday I should post on my blog. The spontaneity and unpredictability of the watercolor is fun and intriguing.

Today is a gloriously warm and sunny day! I have plans to spend a bit of time outdoors today to soak up some warmth and sunshine. With the return of warm temperatures seems to come the return of little creatures.

Simplicity in Abstract Art

Sometimes it is the sheer simplicity in abstract art that is the most fascinating. As with almost any style of painting you can create your own story behind a piece. The subtle changes in light and value, the mood, the colors, contribute to creating a very subjective meaning, a very personal experience for each individual person. I believe everyone has their own take on what they see and what they feel about a painting. Sure you can contemplate what the artist was thinking, what the artist was trying to paint ... give it a try ...
