Doodling. Making it up as I went along.

It was kind of fun.

And kind of like floating down the river on an air mattress on a lovely sunny day.  Enjoying the day and just letting the river take me where it chose.

Bold Ultramarine Abstract watercolor

 

Bold and Abstract

Its a bit of zen and a bit of bold.

Its nothing – really.

But mix of colors and shapes and lines, that seem to work well together.

 

 

Contrasts

Blue and Orange; Light and Dark; Textured and Smooth; Rounded curves and Sharp edged lines.

Verticals, diagonals and implied horizontals.

There are enough contrasts to make this image interesting.

 

 

You remember I’ve  mentioned before, sometimes the artist IS thinking of specific symbols and meanings and content as they create their abstract.

Well,  This is an example where I had absolutely nothing… zero… in mind.

I’d call it, ’empty mind’  in the nicest possible way.   In the meditational context of ‘no-mind.’

The act of creation, in any media is a fascinating and magical process. I simply love to create. Expressing in color, line, tone, texture - as if, they were words upon a page. Creating a uniquely me, interpretation. Enjoy More of my "one-of-a-kind" expressive art at society6.com/debiriley and, redbubble.com/people/debijriley/shop

    1. C Ray – wow! first, thank you very much, that is so lovely to have someone connect my work – to MR. Matisse!
      I had not seen that ‘look’ or similarity, til your comment. then returned to the piece and looked again.
      And, I can see there is a subtle influence thru this image. thank you for sharing that, and your kind comment! cheers, Debi

  4. I agree with Cray your inner Matisse was just waiting to be released. You may think you have nothing in your mind, but he’s there just biding his time 🙂
