It was summer and so hot and humid...I really didn't feel like doing any painting. But, I knew I needed to stop staring at a blank sheet of paper. In class that morning a classmate and I just decided to start playing with color.
We did some wet on wet, dropped color, splashed paint...blowing paint around with a straw. Barbara, our teacher suggested that we try some small paintings. I don't think she was too excited about what we were up to. Camille and I were having fun and loosening up!
When I got home, I continued to 'play.' Everything looks better with a mat, so I matted some of these little experiments and found that I really liked them!
It's fun for me to experiment with some abstract art. One problem I encountered, however, was that some of these could be viewed from different directions! So, where do I sign them?
I made up some screwy titles... and signed them in pencil. If someone wants them upside down, that's OK!
