Abstraction

This is one step in the process of a large oil painting I am working on at the moment. This piece of paper serves a totally utilitarian purpose and wasn't intended to be a piece of artwork in-and-of itself. Despite this fact, I found it to be truly and abstractly beautiful and subsequently I am here displaying it to you. I hope you like.

Abstracted Shapes

Below are a few variations from a school project I did last year. The original image (which you can find further back in my blog) resembled nothing of these pictures, yet through the magic of photoshop we create two completely new compositions.

I enjoyed the first picture so much I printed it out in poster format roughly 12x36 and now have it hanging on my wall. Sometimes you'll be surprised what you can create when you take an original idea and spin it in a new direction.
