Description Drop your defenses and come, into my arms.
I'm all for believing, I'm all for believing.
if you can reveal the true colours within.
I know you blanket your mind so much that I am blind, but I,
I see you've painted your soul into your guard
I'm all for believing, I'm all for believing.
-Missy Higgins

This is part collage and part painting. When I painted this I was extremely frustrated with my abstract art, nothing seemed to be turning out so I started this. I couldn't find my brushes so I fingerpainted. I think I like how this turned out...

Assorted pieces of cardboard + Manilla Tag (?) + Acrylics + Tape

EDIT:: sharpened the picture

a recommendation, perhaps a version with the upper space cropped to the top edge of the triangle. I think this would do a bit to activate your overall composition by bringing it into more of a harmonic resonance, visually.

I like the broken edges of the brush marks. Keep experiementing and overworking these. You can build up great textures and it doesn't really matter if they go wrong as its all learning process.

I used to do abstract paintings, would love to get back into it again.

lol I think I get enough "kid" art being coerced into coloring and watercoloring with Andrew. John criticized me the last time because I did them too "artistically" :grumble:
