The Disection Of A Plant and The Infinite Space

I just added the abstract paintings me and Daniel painted to my Etsy page.

We have two more canvases like these, so we may paint some more.

This Is What Happens...

....When I haven't painted or drawn anything.

Finally Done.

A while ago me and a friend started some abstract paintings. I don't usually paint a lot of abstract paintings. It's not really one of my favorite genres, but at the time it sounded like a good idea. It took me a while to finish it. Actually, I'm not even too sure it's finished. I put off working on it for a long time, because I didn't have any direction for the painting, and I simple did not want to waste paint.

When I finally got an idea in mind for what I wanted to base my painting on, I got to painting. The idea I had came from a documentary I saw. Without getting too much into it, I had this idea of deconstructing a plant, and what that would look like in an abstract manner.

I used acrylic paint and painted on an all wooden canvas I built.
The canvas was 24" x 24"

This is the painting Daniel painted. His inspiration was space, and the idea that something so big as a planet, is nothing but a tiny spot compare to the whole universe.

These are some close ups of the same painting.

Even though we started our paintings at the same time, he was done with his about a month before I was done with mine. He doesn't normally paint, but I really like the way his painting turned out.

I'm not sure too sure we will turn into abstract artists...
but somethings it's nice to try something new.
...They are both for sale by the way. Send a message
my way if you're interested in either of them.

Thrift Store Findings

I saw this painting at a thrift store about a week ago. The painting itself isn't really much to look at, but it was painted on a 18x36 inch stretch canvas. It was only 3 dollars, so I bought it. I took it home and covered it with gesso. I don't know what to paint on it yet, but I realized I have a lot of canvases in my room...


I decided that I'm going to try to motivate myself this week and paint a lot more. I have too many blank canvases sitting around. I have one painting in mind which I'll start tomorrow. I need to start sketching .

Jackson and Pollock

Yesterday me and Daniel decided to paint some abstract paintings. We used the canvases we built. When I was painting I realized I don't really paint a lot of abstract paintings. After about ten minutes I realized it was because doesn't interest me as much. So far they both look pretty good. They both also need a lot of more work though. I'll update after we work on them more or finish them.
