Impressionistic fine art painting by BarbYatesDudding

Spring in the Foothills 8x10 oil/acrylic

In my next several blogs I am going to show my process of painting
this 8x10 into an original painting 36x48 for a client.

This was painted on location (out the back of my truck) on the
back roads near Taos NM.

Abstract Contemporary Fine Art

White Study on Red 18x24
What I love about creating an abstract painting, is the sense of freedom and abandonment.
The process is tactile,  physical, but non rational.
"Abstract  artist do not comply with any art rules". (about .com)
Abstract paintings have characteristics of messiness, extreme energetic application,
and brush strokes that seem to reveal the process.
I personally love Jackson Pollock's approach;
dripping, smearing, slathering  and flinging.
(stay tuned for my next Abstract blog)
