335 Daily Abstracts
Why paint Daily Abstracts?
On this day last year, I challenged myself to create one hundred abstract paintings in 100 days. On January 1st 2022, I began posting these abstract adventures to a blog called The Daily Abstract. And I haven’t stopped.
It has been a great discipline that has kept me painting throughout the year, a constant opportunity to explore different artistic techniques, and materials, to experiment with new ideas and themes.
What Materials are used?
Most of the paintings have been painted on either wood or watercolour paper using acrylic paints and different mixed-media from pens, pastels, inks and watercolour paints to less conventional materials such as plaster of Paris, fern leaves and other found objects.
What’s my Daily Inspiration?
These paintings are a daily dab of colourful escapism and chromatic chaos. My paintbrushes and pallet knives, often dance to a musical beat and I love listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers while painting. Memories and photos of wild places inspire my paintings, in particular; water. Other paintings reflect a mood or a reaction to something I’ve heard or seen on the news. But many are simply abstract brushstrokes of joy.
How many paintings have been created so far?
Well, since January 1st, I have now posted 335 Daily Abstract paintings….
