A winter's tale
That song has been on repeat in my mind for weeks and just when I thought I'd packed it away in the loft with the tinsel, I decide to share its name with this painting. Darn it.
I am following an Abstract urge. This may be due to a shift in artistic direction or just a slight post-Christmas laziness where I can't quite be bothered to find anything else to paint. It's really quite soothing though just letting the paint take its own direction and then allowing intuition to take over and following a whim.
This year I am determined not to spend time procrastinating, yet here I am playing with my blog and about to head over to hang out with the crew at Paint Party Friday when I should be doing.... MY TAX....
Can you blame me?
But no. It must be done. And, all I have to do is find all the relevant information, my accountant will do the rest... it's hardly the equivalent of being locked up in a tiny cell full of numbers screaming at me and poking at my skin with their sharp edges.
I am away to my spreadsheets and statements. Wish me luck... I may be some time...

Beautiful abstract work. I love it! Good luck with your taxes. I would procrastinate, too!
ReplyDeletehow lovely that you find this soothing
ReplyDeleteit is also soothing to look at ~
A lovely abstract, yet it still tells a tale. Two people in a windy, wintry landscape. Strange how an abstract is interpreted by views in more literal ways sometimes. I once had to write an essay on 'Every Picture Tells a Story', and this one does to me. Great.
ReplyDeletegood luck with the paperwork and love the abstracts so I hope they continue for a while longer...xx
ReplyDeleteLove it, this is marvelous. Beautiful details. Wonderful abstract work.

what a soft and beautiful abstract piece-I'm so happy you played and blogged-lots of time for taxes yet :) Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI am always in awe of abstract artists, and this is much much better than taxes, grrrr. Happy PPF from across the pond.
ReplyDeletelovley abstract. I can't paint one for my life so I am really jealous of yours :) I love creative tangents that take us away from what we've been doing and introduce us to something new. Happy PPF
ReplyDeleteProcrastination - oh dear, I know what you mean. There is always 100 more things that are more distracting then actual work. Love the colours and gentle feel of the abstract work -
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's abstract at all, turned on it's side, I see a group of people. It's really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the taxes, just think how nice it will be to have it behind you.
~lisa...far better to create abstract than sink minutes into taxes...i love this piece...the colors are so soothing...reminds me of the woods on a cool wintry day...thanks for stumbling over for a visit...much love light and blessings~
