Artist Thoughts: Seeing and an Abstract Journey
Seeing the Lines I’d like to learn to paint birds and I’d like to learn to paint more abstract pieces such as expressionism, contemporary and modern abstract. I really, really want to do abstract. I recently purchased an art pad that I intend to dedicate to this abstract journey of…
What the Crows Left Behind
