Brush to canvas. That was the only plan. I know nothing about abstracts. While on vacation at our family cabin in Northwestern PA, I worked everyday on plein air landscapes. Near the end of the week, I stayed up until 2am playing with color...and thinking. As I finished a brush stroke, I would pause and let the next part come to me. The paintings "are what they are". Creative freedom.

Lavender Blue - Acrylic palette knife floral abstract by Pennsylvania Contemporary Artist Pat Koscienski

"Lavender Blue"

9" x 12"

Acrylic on canvas

 

This painting was done ala prima using texturized acrylic paint and a palette knife.  It started off as a nonobjective abstract for this month's DPP challenge.  However, I started to see some flowers on a mountain side and decided to stay with that. I did not stop to  photograph different stages for fear of breaking that right brain period that I was in.   If you have any questions or wish to purchase, contact PAT.  If you wish to see more of my paintings, both abstract and representational, please visit my blogspot and website at:
