I'm not totally sure why I've always been drawn to the abstract. I think mostly in the beginning it was the one's with very bold colors that made my brain spark. I understand it's not for everybody. Many times when I would see abstracts by others, I'd think "I can do that" LOL..... but never really put my hand to it. Sure I've done many creative things through my life and a time or two I tried to paint, but I tried to paint things or landscapes or..... something other than abstract and let it go pretty fast each time. I wish I had started earlier so I would have time to get good at something. I do love some of the one's I've done (others not so much...LOL) and I enjoy having them on my walls.

It's interesting too seeing them close up and from across a room. Sometimes from halfway across a room, they have a different look to them as some of the smaller details no longer stand out.

I am not compelled to name all mine, but once in a while a name belongs with one and a good while after I created this, I decided it's name should be One Hot Mess ! I thought it was appropriate.
