Abstract Month

I decided that August was abstract month for me. I was testing myself to do something different and in the first week I learned that I have decorative tendencies when it comes to abstract. Not what I expected or necessarily want. I decided to embrace it for another week then move on.

Above is Spring Fantasy, a 12" x 12" piece on canvas.

Jungle Beat is on the right. I think it still needs something. I will live with it for awhile. It is all paint and gold leaf. I wish I could find a cheap beaded Indian belt. The texture of the beads would be wonderful on it. I have beaded Indian flowers that I am making a cast of then will put on another piece. I will let you know if that was a success or not.
