Daily abstract paintings posted throughout 2022

About The Daily Abstract

The Daily Abstract began on the 1st January 2022. The little paintings that I posted daily to this blog, during 2022, were mostly mixed media with a few digital paintings towards the end of the year. They gave me the opportunity to play with different techniques, styles, materials and colours.

Sometimes I created the paintings to test a specific composition for a much larger piece of work that I was planning. Others were pure experimentation, or a reaction to a place I had been, something I had seen or experienced, perhaps a mood I wanted to convey, or were simply fun to paint.

By the 31st December 2022, I had posted 365 abstracts, one a day for a year.

I hope you enjoy looking through the paintings on The Daily Abstract. Please use the archive links below to look at each month’s paintings or the search bar.

Future abstract paintings will be posted on my Journal.

Hiding Amongst Colour

Mixed-media painting.

Acrylic paints
Chalk pastels
Glass crystal clear and AB Rhinestones
140 x 95mm Bockingford Watercolour paper

Like the previous three day's paintings, this is anther painting on postcard sized watercolour paper. I love using purples and blues, oranges and yellows together. I used pastels to cover the white paper before working with acrylic paints using pallet knives. As the painting developed, there seemed to be strange little characters hiding amongst the strokes of colour.

Background painted with chalk pastel. Hiding Amongst Colour.

This painting started with a chalk pastel background as seen above. Acrylic paint was applied on top with a pallet knife before I added the Rhinestones.

Check back tomorrow for another painting.....
