Day #43 Abstract Theme 7 of 7 – For the final day of Abstract Theme week I’m going to pull a Jasper Johns. No, I’m not using a broom and paint to make a piece. Instead I’m following Linhbergh’s lead, the color of the flower and the texture of rust made the framing appeal to my sense of composition.

Abstract theme week is done. It was difficult to come up with images for each day. Beautiful Costa Rica continues to give me plenty to shoot.

NEVERMIND!

Day #42, second to last day of the Abstract Theme Week. While down in Costa Rica, I have been able to enjoy beverages from glass bottles. This might sound like an odd pleasure – considering many great beverages come in glass bottles in the United States. Soda in a glass bottle and made from real sugar is divine. Too bad the US is dependent on supporting plastics and corn growers – serving our liquid death in plastic bottles and made from corn syrup. The retro 7 up logo also caught me off guard and made me even fonder of the stuff. With the bright yellow wall behind it, the green transparent glass, and the retro logo this caught my attention as an interesting composition for PANTS’ing.

NEVERMIND!

Day #41 – Abstract Theme Week 5 of 7. The color and square cutout shape of this door caught my attention while walking the streets of Jaco, Costa Rica. Since I’ve been stuck in airports for too long – I have some serious PANTS’ing to do now. No artists to reference, just: shape, color, and bokeh.

NEVERMIND!

Day #40 – Abstract Theme 4 of 7. Linhbergh’s first abstraction referenced the work of Piet Mondrian. Mondrian’s linear composition, flat white background, and use of primary colors is simply captivating. At dinner…yes dinner, I noticed the ceiling was exposed. The wiring, piping, and lighting being visible – and creating an impressive intersection of lines.  All of unique shapes and sizes, with a concrete background full of speckled textural grit.

NEVERMIND!

Day #39 -  Reflections of the Broadway Bar in downtown Los Angeles are lost in the grunge of the parallel storefront. The neon glow of the sign caught my attention and fades into a mass of glowing text. Framed by a hastily painted wall. Artifacts of popular culture and the past.

NEVERMIND!

Day #38 – Abstract Series Theme 2 of 7.

Personally, some of the greatest art comes from the elements. It can modify human creation in ways a brush cannot. Water pours through the cracks and stains the walls. Nature makes it’s own abstract expressionist work. Maybe a rain storm is the best action painter? Its detached from what it creates – its all process.

NEVERMIND!
