Ultramarine in Bold #worldwatercolormonth

Doodling. Making it up as I went along.

It was kind of fun.

And kind of like floating down the river on an air mattress on a lovely sunny day.  Enjoying the day and just letting the river take me where it chose.

 

 

Bold and Abstract

Its a bit of zen and a bit of bold.

Its nothing – really.

But mix of colors and shapes and lines, that seem to work well together.

 

 

Contrasts

Blue and Orange; Light and Dark; Textured and Smooth; Rounded curves and Sharp edged lines.

Verticals, diagonals and implied horizontals.

There are enough contrasts to make this image interesting.

 

 

You remember I’ve  mentioned before, sometimes the artist IS thinking of specific symbols and meanings and content as they create their abstract.

Well,  This is an example where I had absolutely nothing… zero… in mind.

I’d call it, ’empty mind’  in the nicest possible way.   In the meditational context of ‘no-mind.’
