~Lady in White,

This artwork has definitely been a step in the right direction for me artistically and technically. I've gotten a lot more used to layering the different aspects of the art, as to prevent getting too attached to "detailed sections" throughout the process.

Taking a step back in time, this piece has been my most detailed so far. The use of shadowing has improved greatly from my first attempts and blending in different tones has been a less chaotic experience for me too.

Things have definitely been improving.

~not my original design.

When people look at abstract art and go "uh I could make that"

Fuck, I wish you would!

I wish you would let this inspire you. I wish that seeing a piece of abstract art would move you to self expression.

I wish you would go to the craft store, buy a cheap canvas and some cheap paint and let yourself play with color and form just to see if you can.

I wish that there were more amateur painters, trying their hand at geometric abstraction and color field painting. That would be so fucking cool.

"I could make that" should be a joyous revelation, not a snarky dismissal.

You could make that? Holy shit. please. Please make that.
