100 Abstract Explorations Archives

If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t: what are you waiting for??), you know that I started the 100 Day Project this year (and I talked about it here). I am behind and could even say that I will not complete it BUT I am not giving up.
Like my 100 Nixies project, I will not set a deadline but will do my best to work every day on something. Even if it is just making a mark or starting a background.

Do you like painting abstract? I still find it intimidating so if I could, I’d sign up for all the classes 😉
You’ll see that I had fun using different media for this piece, acrylic paint and markers, oil pastels, modeling paste, stamps… Everything I love most or almost. Because this is what these 100 paintings are about: finding my creative joy again.
And thanks to it, because for weeks on end I only painting abstract, Nixies actually came back full force, nudging me to let them speak.

As I told you at the beginning of April, I embarked on The 100 Day Project this year.
On week 2, we had a long painful power outage. My ArtCave is located in our basement and it was about 10ºC (about 50ºF) inside our home. So let me tell you: no matter how badly I wanted to go paint in there, it did not happen for five days.
