Abstract Acrylics with Maureen Gasek


OK. We're not done yet... imagined I'd continue once I got home from class this evening. Here is my squid gone hiding. Expect to darken some base areas. Thought I'd give a days consideration before working further on. Need to decide if I'm interested in continuing this coursework. Pleased that I'm making progress and learning, but not entirely sure where this direction might lead. Would I, could I, suppose I might abstract the human form? Do I take up painting? Myriads of projects lined up in my head. The squid is pretty far from human form or bird dialect. Is it trust, Elena? Have I poured my ink to camouflage myself? Or, is it rather myself that I'm hiding from?

I have to say this is my favorite of all your pieces! The colors are divine and the drips and swirls in front of the squid are what draw me in! Keep going, Doris it sounds like you really into this. Allow it! How the heck did you make those milky white lines in front of the squid? Awesome!
And don't over-analyze the process. The heart knows the way......

White acrylic thinned to a wash and dripped with turning.
