So, yes, I’ve been absent from the blog for a while. I have been deep in painting and have a whole new painting life.
A couple months ago, I took a 12-week on-line painting class. It concentrated mostly on abstract painting principles and I thought I would apply what I learned to realistic painting. However, I was surprised that as I learned concepts of abstract painting, I began loving it. It’s much more complicated than I realized, but I found it fascinating.
Here are a couple of my latest pieces…
They are 12 x 12 inches and are acrylic and mixed media on cradled board.

oh my!! These are simply incredible!! I love that they are abstract but…I also see realism in there too which makes them even more interesting. I am sure that the blog reproduction of them isn’t doing them justice, but you can still see that they are wonderful. Love that you are actively working on your passion!
Lou, these are absolutely gorgeous. You seem to have mastered this. You have been missed. Hope to see the boys join us for Sunday Selfies again.
I really like these! When my human was a kid she used to do art, and was told how talented she was. Recently, she was cleaning out some unused rooms and found a bunch of her childhood paintings and drawings… and she actually WASN’T very good! MOL! She now has an even deeper admiration for people who do have talent.
I love these! So good to hear from you again!
It’s so nice to see a post from you, Lou! š
Love these new paintings. Hugs to you and the boys!
