The Owl and the Pussycat, Abstract Cat Painting

Just put up this lovely image in my online shops. Definitely brings a smile to my face, who would have thought they would be in a submarine.

I've created another abstract painting but this one is waiting for the right little critter to go in it. I have plenty of animals to paint up so I'm wondering which one will fit the bill, although I have a pretty good idea it might be three little mice.

Abstract Cat Cards

Just a little something I'm working on, combining my abstracts with my cats and a little Photoshop magic. These will be for cards, prints etc.

Doodle Abstract Paintings

My starting Doodles

I've been developing my abstract style based on some of my doodles. I think I am going to be very busy as I have loads, this first image is a glimpse of where I start and the final 3 abstract paintings are where you can see the designs and how I used them. As you can see I add bits and take bits out as I develop my painting. I am really looking forward to painting some more. The artist that has most influenced my abstract work is Paul Klee.

New Abstract Painting

Girl with Fish

Close up detail

I really love abstract art (that's probably why I like creating fractals) so I decided to take this a bit further with my acrylic paints. During my University days I had to create lots of backgrounds for my art so I tried frottage (which I still love), acrylic paint dragging, watercolours etc etc. but mark making, texture and acrylics has always been my thing. What I really love about abstracts is that I have no idea how they are going to turn out. I love this way of working and often see characters and forms appearing in my work. It's hard to decide what to keep and what should go. This is my first abstract piece as a painting in it's own right. It was totally freestyle and I had no idea where it was going until a landscape started to form so I just went with it and developed it further. Putting titles to my work is a challenge as everyone sees something different in abstract work, but I see a Girl on the right with a blue face and yellow dress carrying a huge mammal like fish on her shoulder, so there it is Girl with Fish. I have another 3 abstracts that are drying at the moment. I'll post pictures of those in another blog, they have lots of doodle elements in them.
