Abstract Geo 5×7 140lb Arches Rough Cobalt Teal Blue, Quin Gold, Quin Rose, Winsor Violet
Unwinding…
De-stressing…
Relaxing…
after a busy work day
one evening this week
through drawing geometric patterns,
dropping in watercolor,
and letting it do it’s thing.
Then I twisted it
and turned it
and shook it
and salted it
and spritzed it
and finally
a quick splatter or three.
Zen…
Finding Peace in Painting.
#WorldWatercolorMonth Rocks!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Thanks Carrie – I really wanted to stick with 3 color, but the way I patterned it, I needed to add a fourth. Too many colors?

You’re welcome! No such thing as too many colors in my book, Jodi. As many as we want that’s the way I always go. 🙂

It was too geometric for me, so I had to “loosen” it up 🙂

I love your abstract….there is something about painting an abstract that does help you to unwind and to express something deep within. Love how your painting seems geometrical and loose at the same time, those blending colors helps the image to meld into peaceful….. 🙂
