My mom won’t like these. That’s what I tease her by saying whenever I do anything experimental or abstract. And I’m usually right. So, Mom… you’ve been warned.
Playfully
As I said, I had a really good time at the WSO convention and an especially good time at the Margaret Stermer-Cox (Peggy) break out session.
To recap, I took this image…

And turned it into this value study…
And threatened to paint it!
Amok
One wasn’t enough, so I ended up with two versions. Both use marbled papers from the Liz Walker workshop I took a couple of years ago.

Experimenting
I don’t think either are finished, particularly “Pink”.
There is a glare on both that makes the photos a little weird.
I learned a lot. Such as better planning is necessary. And surface matters. And being able to use black is fun!
I like them. I like where they are going.
So… Mom… sorry, there are going to be more!
Really like the direction those abstracts are going!
