Bold Color and Abstract Painting

Most Abstract ARTISTS that I know
use bold color in their work.
I suppose it all started by legendary 
painters like Hans Hoffman
and innovative pioneers like Jackson Pollack.
But it never ends there.
We do our own approach to the
art of painting with color
at the center 
every day of our lives.

I am continually inspired by
others work.
I look at it.
I look at the stroke quality
and the use of layers
and I value the input
of their creation
into my mind.

When I paint I often think
of other painters and 
attempt to
learn from all they have taught us.

I use their path as a direction
for my own creation.
I never copy
but I do use others for inspiration
in my work.

I appreciate
most abstract artists.
I appreciate their
struggle to be seen.
I appreciate their focus
on innovation
and exploring.
We all have so much to learn.
