My first attempt at abstract. I tried to make it up as I went along with no plan, because I didn’t want to think too much on it and make it look like something—pretty sure there are many abstract artists who do that. But I did end up keeping in mind a theme/symbolism which I’ll leave you to decide.
On another note, if you rotate the canvas 90 degrees clockwise (so it’s vertical with the purple side on top and the blue side on the bottom), it looks, to me at least, like New York city being hit by a flaming meteor, with the ocean crashing into the buildings, and the spirals are the sound of sirens. XD And that’s what I love about abstract, that we can see many things in one piece.
Techniques used: blending, glazing, washing, pulling, scraping out, scoring, dabbing, leaving brush strokes, masking, spraying/spattering
