font-size: large;">I blame Covid.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Without meaning to, I've started noticing some Instagram artists who do abstract work. Lori Mirrabelli in Canada, Lana Dion in Sydney, and others. I really, really like their work.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Maybe this abstract thing might be worth playing with, in the privacy of my studio? </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I felt the need to be private about it, as I've been fairly scathing of abstraction in the past. I saw Rothkos (and Motherwells? or similar) while at art school. (NSW Gallery) and didn't think it would ever be my thing. I could draw well, so why ignore that skill? The nuns said you had to use any talent that God gave you. And I thought I was "talented". </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I also blame the teachers. We were not assisted in our choices as artists. We were left to our own devices to discover a path. Maybe because I was doing the Art Education course, which would end in my being an art teacher, they didn't think we students were worth cultivating as fine artists. I left the course and took up graphic design. In other words, I sold my soul to the dollar.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">But when returning to painting full time in 2007, I found I had too many directions. So I stuck with the traditional painting option. The figure, as children and workers, cityscapes, harbourscapes, seascapes. Often paining plein air, with my surrounds dictating my subject matter. Trips to Italy resulted in paintings of the Roman chapels, France resulted in montages of the country side.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">14 years on, it's time to look inwards. Total creativity. Abstract Art.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">But, as I have the concentration span of a newt, I might change again. Who knows?

I am making images from nothing, starting with a white canvas, and no image in my head. </span></p><span style="background-color: white;"><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #262626;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I found this to be more thought provoking than I expected. Making a mark, and another, with no rules. Any shape, any colour, any texture. One could say there are millions of choices! </span></span></span><div><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #262626;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #262626;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">So the 'restriction' is the thing. What I need to <i>not</i> do, how to hold back, to resist. My initial rules are: start with an open palette, and use all the primaries. Make it high contrast: a 'high major' tone range.</span></span></span></div><div><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #262626;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #262626; font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span>Paint many paintings.
