After a walk in the woods this week, 
I decided to try an abstract “impression” of what I’d seen, 
without using any reference. 
I just started laying in colors and shapes,
pulling and pushing, and this was the result.
Red October
12 x 12 acrylic 
I find it funny that most of my “abstract” attempts
generally end up looking like landscapes. 
Baby steps, I guess!  
That said,  I’m delighted and surprised that this
12 x 12 abstract, done this spring during covid,
was accepted in to “Tipping Point”, a National Juried Show
at South Shore Art Center. 
”Silver Lining”
12 x 12 oil, oil sticks, charcoal
That’s encouraging!
