A Simple Abstract Painting of Beauty

Painted in blues this subtle painting has a visual depth that seeks to explore how we see the world.  Abstract painting allows anyone to find the Simplicity of beauty in colour field paintings.

I have added this abstract painting to my website (see this web page here) partly because as a painting it attracts a vast amount of interest, even from those individuals who have little interest in abstract art or painting. 

Although colour field paintings are by the values of artists like mark Rothko or Numan, a pure and reductive abstract process this particular abstraction crates the feeling of an expansive landscape that holds a natural appeal that anyone one can appreciate and enjoy.

Colour field painting presents challenges to the abstract artist especially creating a large exspance of a shade or colour that still retains visual interest and excitement as this painting dose. The flat and very smooth application of the paint adds directly to the atmosphere that this colourfield painting offers the viewer.

As a landscape the subtle tones displayed in the large flat areas of blues that both hint towards the green and creates a comfortable visually stunning abstract painting that truly catches the interest of those who come into contact whit this stunning simple abstract painting.

Different by far, a painting that breaks the mould.

The shape of things that are
80 X 65 cm, oil painted canvas,

Far removed from the normal style of simple abstract paintings and the minimalist lines or shapes that normally predominate in my work. This abstract painting is an expression confusion and frustration, using textures and colours that are very different, but also exciting and distinct. I truly feel that this painting breaks a mould and pushes the boundaries of my abstract artwork.

Despite being about disorder and frustrations. It has a calmness and ease that belie its subject. The green is vibrant and energetic bursting with life and in complete contradiction to the warm greys and reds. It is both fugitive and pastoral while holding firmly to the abstract.

For my self I cant quite decide if I like it as a painting. But the real value for me, was what I gained as and artist and painter from pushing beyond the fears and doubts that would have had me maintain, the status quo. How dose this abstract painting make you feel ?
