Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Field of Flowers"

After my fist abstract I went whole hog working on the second one. I ended up wiping it off about 5 times before I realized it just wasn't working. I needed some sort of plan. So I started looking through pictures on Pinterest for ideas. I realized I could take a photo I liked, use the colors and values, arrange them however I like, and make it completely abstract! And it worked!

I said to my friend, "I just did a painting I'm really proud of." She said, "Oh yeah? What's it of?" I said, "Little girls' butts." It didn't sound right.
 
On a different note, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for your support regarding my foray into abstract art! I didn't know what the reaction would be and it's quite nice to get so many "hooray's!" I am quite enjoying it. I will post more soon, and thoughts about process as well. I am learning a TON.

I know, not what you expected, huh?! In fact totally out there. And yet, I've been thinking about doing abstract for years and years! I just thought, for some strange reason, that it needed to be in acrylic (why? I don't know). But this is oil. What happened was - I painted a real stinker the other day (realism). And after I wiped it off I thought - I'll just play with my paint on this panel. I put down some random colors, but the further I got the worse it looked. So I wiped it off again. This time, the wipe off wasn't complete and the few colors that remained were somewhat interesting. So I put more down, and came up with this!

I have no idea what the market is for this kind of work, especially since you're all used to what I normally do. So I am starting the bidding at $1. I will say, I've done a couple more since and I LOVE the process! I don't plan to stop painting what I normally paint, but I will continue to explore.

 "Pink House 3" - 5x7in - click here to bid
 
In case you're wondering, the first two pink houses (this being Pink House 3) were done a few years ago in Colorado. Here are 1 and 2.

Meanwhile, I would like to announce the birth of my first grandchild, Nina! Both her and her mom (my stepdaughter) are happy and healthy and cute as can be. We'll be flying to see them in Texas in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to meet her in person!

This is a sight from around my hometown of Eugene, OR. I almost bought myself a used motorcycle back when I was in college. I didn't have a car and figured it would be a good, cheap way to get around. I think the guy figured out that I was out of my depth because he sold it to someone else. After that I went back to taking the bus.
