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?

loved the vibrant colors and then your words did the rest !!
I'm so glad that you were inspired to bring red to life in paint, Hank! Thank you for joining!
ReplyDeleteI am a painter and like your abstract very much. Hope you keep at the task.
ReplyDeleteMyself, 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
