People like order, and years ago I notice when I was paying attention to art sales on ebay that even people looking for abstracts preferred them ordered, geometrical rather than chaotic or organic. While I have done several abstract paintings before, this may be the first where there is no underlaying concrete thing that's being presented abstractly. What you see is what there is, and that's all there is. This is just playing around with putting paint, and clear acrylic medium on in layers and scrapping it off to get texture and a multilayered look. I will have to work on perfecting just what I want to do and the best way to do it. I do think I'll have to add the final glossy layer after I take my picture, since I got so much reflection with the glossy overcoat.
