Toying with Abstracts

                                                                      The Beak - Hank's Recent Abstract Painting
Note: Recently I decided to try the present
generation of acrylics and paint some abstracts
I just dabbled in red and blue and came up with
something like the beak of some monstrous birds.

Taking on the bait still alert
Of breaking off the shackles
Toying with colors and palette
How it’s going to be handled

Just dabbling with acrylics
Not in mind of any targets
Decided to go through the basics
With a purchase of a new set

Try for hues of red of blood
Bright primary colors so true
Abstracts a choice to start
With generous splashes of blue

What comes of it now
Draw first and later decide
On the title that’s normal

Is it a beak taking flight?

Note: Submitted for PFF on April 07, 2017

Written for Hannah's hosting at Real Toads
with generous colors of red  at
the Red Beach of Paijin, China

  5. It's beautiful, Hank. I can see how Hannah's prompt became this painting, this beak in brightest primary hues.

  9. I am a painter and like your abstract very much. Hope you keep at the task.
    Myself, I find my abstracts take on a life of their own...making it fun at the end
    as I decide which end is up, and what really is there ! Abstracts a mystery and
    a joy in my book. Hope they are for you too.

    Love what you wrote about the experience.
    Peace
