I have to ask myself this, as when I first started creating art work it was mostly drawings in sketchbooks I hadn’t even painted on a canvas before I started university. so why painting, and why abstract?
To be brutally honest it comes down to the limitation of my skills and patience. I have the basic skills in drawing shading and proportions and if I pushed myself I could be rather good but I get to frustrated to practise. So I turned to paint the expression of colour and emotion this is when I found myself as an artist. I understood the colours and how they went together to create something pleasing.
I only found this last year and I have been painting ever since I have found it relaxing where the more ‘technical’ art practise frustrated and upset me. So I paint abstract because it is the way I found to express myself in a way I understand and enjoy!!
