Abstract art strips away the narrative, the real and expected visual story. It requires us to resolve a problem. We want to impose a rational explanation – or see something in abstract art so we feel comfortable. It makes our brains work harder and in a different way – at a subconscious level.

Maybe that’s why some people find abstract art more intimidating and are quick to dismiss it.

If you are interested in learning more about abstract art and how to create abstract paintings, I am in the process of creating my first online course. “Pure Abstract Painting”

This is something I have been wanting to do for many years and will let you know when my course is ready for enrollment.

A few abstract paintings I’ve been working on today.  I love the continual changes when working this way.
