The color yellow;
Yellow is sunshine. It is a warm color that, like red, has conflicting symbolism. On the one hand it denotes happiness and joy but on the other hand yellow is the color of cowardice and deceit.

Falling Up
acrylic/oil
Another in my new movement art series.
Truly a painting  frenzy and the best part of my day.
I love to finish and start my day in the  studio.
I find it very zen, tactile, physical and non rational.
A sense of freedom;
"Kandinsky believed that colors provoke emotions. Red was lively and confident; Green was peaceful with inner strength; Blue was deep and supernatural; Yellow could be warm, exciting, disturbing or totally bonkers; and White seemed silent but full of possibilities. He also assigned instrument tones to go with each color: Red sounded like a trumpet; Green sounded like a middle-position violin; Light Blue sounded like flute; Dark Blue sounded like a cello, Yellow sounded like a fanfare of trumpets; and White sounded like the pause in a harmonious melody."

Twice I have subconsciously created "hearts" from
my abstract expressionistic method. This was created with thick
juicy texture and movement.
Quote; " I don't paint with ideas of art in mind. I see something that
excites me. It becomes my content." (1968 De Kooning)
I love this quote and understand it's meaning.
What does it mean to you?

de Kooning or Pollock ?

"I never was interested in how to make a good painting.. But to see how far one can go".
 (Willem de Kooning)
He was called "master of the gesture".
In keeping with my challenge I created Confetti.
 A combination of gestures and movement.
What do you think; Pollock or de Kooning?

Contemporary Abstract Painting

Red Feather 20x30
Abstract expressionistic acrylic on canvas.
Layers of translucent color was applied through movement.
Sometimes I put my canvas on the easel or on the floor. I like to move around and
over my canvas to create.

(noun) - Action Painting emphasizes the process of making art, often through a variety of techniques that include dripping, dabbing, smearing, and even flinging paint on to the surface of the canvas. These energetic techniques depend on broad gestures directed by the artist's sense of control interacting with chance or random occurrences.

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.
