I used to post on Reddit but it was taking up too much time so I took my platinum(!) and noped out. I might start another Reddit account some time in the future, I'm just not sure. I wanted to say I follow your posts and really hope things get looking better for you.
Thanks, yeah I understand reddit is addicting. LOL I have been housebound a lot so posting on there. Things are getting a bit better now. I am a little worried about the pandemic. Thanks for the links. Yes abstract is fun.
I think in some cases, if you really had a good time doodling around and had a nice escape into your little mini-reality on your drawing or painting, people can sense that and it's what makes art "great". This certainly goes for good abstract art, but an example most artists will recognize is Albrecht Durer's drawing of the owl. Ever tried to copy it? Good lord he put work into that thing. You get the idea of what kind of mind it takes to be an artist at that level, that level of attention and painstaking work.
Nothing wrong with abstract!

ReplyDeleteI agree, it's showing that inner reality, art does take some of that inner thinking even when you aren't with the art supplies. Oh love that drawing.
