Abstract art is defined as art that has no reference to any figurative reality. In its wider definition the term describes art that depicts real forms in a simplified or rather reduced way – keeping only an allusion of the original natural subject.

“Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colours, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential.”
~ Wassily Kandinsky.

I’ve recently developed a real love for abstracts. Actually, I’ve always loved them but I wasn’t so good at making my own. As a Bryce user, there are many people who make these elaborate symmetrical designs and I appreciate them, but I do get rather tired seeing the same kind all the time.

As I mentioned before I totally love asymmetrical abstracts with pleasing colors. So it was a real pleasure to visit Barb’s post: Life’s Small Textures and see those gorgeous paintings! Inspires me to want to try with real paint someday. A good friend of mine started painting in oils and I think he gave up Bryce completely. He’s done some fabulous work too.

Here’s another of mine. Maybe someday I’ll give paint a try and be able to make something beautiful with that 😉
