That exciting blue texture could be extended with other colours. And that looks good were the red breaks into the blue. Thats what I feel about this piece Sandra. It might be the photograph but I do not think the lower part works for this piece. What you have done with the blue and marks you have made in it is good work.

Thank-you very much John. The fact that the lower part was actually at the top while I was painting could be the reason it doesn't work so well. Perhaps it should be the other way up after all! I might do a follow-up extending the texture used in the blue, and with a different composition.

I do like the colours and shapes in this one Sandra. The thin blue lines balances well with the wider blue section. Interesting work.

Hi Sandra, In the Dec 2017 issue of The Artist is a very good write up by Andrew Marr. All about abstract art. The article is named The motif - a painter’s thoughts. I found it very interesting, and if you are into abstract art a must read I would say.

Thank-you Louise for your kind comment. After John's comment I turned it back the other way up to see if that worked better. I don't think that this is one of my better abstracts, might be due to having just one section textured. Will have a rethink before I do the next one. Thank-you for referring me to Andrew Marr's article John. I'll check if that was one of the issues I bought and if not will track it down at the Library.

Must have missed this one. Fab. Colours. Your have your own style.

Thank-you very much Val-Irene.

Acrylic on 12x16 inch canvas. This started out as pure abstract, morphed along the line when I saw the blue areas as river, and ended upside down from the way it was painted!

About the Artist
Sandra Kennedy

I became hooked on painting when I joined an evening class on painting "Abstracts in Acrylic" some years ago. Now retired, I was painting fairly regularly until the last couple of years when I've had a "creative drought". This year I'm getting back into painting, concentrating on abstract.
