I know I am always saying that I have not posted for one or another reason, and again I am coming up with the same statement. I have started taking a figure class at our new art center and this being something I had never done before, I am quite enthused about it. The class is a three hour class three times a week for a trimester. I believe it will not only help me loosen up a bit, but it also might help me find a new approach with my abstracts. I have nothing to show from this class yet because so far, it is contour line and gestural drawing without looking at the paper, but I do have an abstract I finished yesterday.
Acrylic, ink, gesso and liquid watercolor on strectched canvas. 27 x 29 inches.

I love your abstracts, Mary. This one is no exception. I like the purple and orange together. All those dashes give this a lot of energy.
It is always nice to hear from you mary. Great movement in this painting. And this is blogging - no pressure!
Thank you Billie, I enjoyed playing with this one and layering on and on.
Thank you for commenting Leslie, I always admire your art and your capacity to keep up with so much, including blogging in such an interesting way.
I love the abstract. The colors are great.

I love the deep orange in this... and how exciting you are taking a figure drawing class... it will be interesting to see how it affects your art! Roxanne
Thank you Katelen and Roxanne. I too wonder how the figure class drawing will affect my art, so far I see things in the gesture drawings that I would like to try with the abstracts.
Why Not indeed!
Great color combo Mary,,and the textures look super too!
I know exactly how you feel with the struggle between abstract and realism. I too struggle with this.
your abstracts rock!
