I did this in response to the paint challenge in WC Click me #10. It was based on a basket of peppers but I needed to break loose to shake off the blahs and get out of my rut so I went back to my roots as an abstract painter.

Oh, I love your interpretation of that um photo. Yes I think this is exactly what I would have painted too...... rotflol. Way to go Bruce, you got your brushes wet!!! Yeeeeeha!!
ReplyDeleteNow you can go paint your pointillism hehehehehehehe.
ps
mine is only 5" x 7" ;-) It was hard going took me several hours.
To me it's an explosion of primaries! ;)
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, I don't have a clue about abstracts Bruce, that's my problem...;)
Looks great Bruce ..... a cheery painting ....
ReplyDeleteYou don;t have to know a thing aobut abstracts. Some you like some you don't. If it pulls some emotion out of you, then it is a good one.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is quite correctly a very impressionistic version of teh pepper basket since the reds and yellows and the green are where they are in the photo but I then went from there.
Someone on WC said it was geometric which is true since I wanted the big strokes to be up down, left and right with a few streaks at 45 degree angles to show stability.
Now my wife who only likes realism likes this one. I find for some reason, maybecasue I feel like I have ot follow some rules as stated above, that people who like conservative art like my abstracts. Hmmmm...
I just threw this in to shake up your senses a bit.
Did you study art at school Bruce? or later in life? Just wondering..
ReplyDeleteWhat size is this painting? Is it on canvas?
Study is a dirty word to someone who barely passed high school and was two courses shy of completing a BSc in physics. I wanted to go into acting but was afraid of starving, so I painted houses for 25 years adn still went bankrupt...but study, uhhh, no...
ReplyDeleteI am like most of the painters I know of, self punished, er, I mean taught. But thanks for the implied compliment.
