Thirty Paintings in 30 Days

Day 26

Some of you may remember the 1970's movie version of Dr Doolittle.  In it was the "PushMe PullYou" which was really a llama with two front ends that connected in the middle. That best describes what it is like for me to paint in abstract. I push colors and shapes to make them important and then pull others back to tone them down...alot. I am averaging about two and a half hours per painting, but it is an enjoyable struggle the whole time, kind of like play wrestling with a little kid. It isn't really hard, it usually makes you happy, and you are exhausted at the end if you were really into it.
