I've been attending the Saturday Art Club for awhile now, since August, 2014. I started with an idea, as seen in my earlier posts about the "Night Garden". Since those first new explorations of expanding my concept of the night garden, my paintings have relied more on the movement and flow of the paint itself and my emphasis to its original beauty. I have painted 3 sets of four paintings, working on a set of four at the same time.
At first, I was starting my paintings on a black background, as seen in my earlier posts. Then I used a previously painted canvas to start my layers of drips and splashes of paint. As I did the series, I moved further in the abstract direction. These pics are from the Saturday Art Club Show at the VISA school.

These two of a series of four, are the same paintings in my previous show at the library.
These two are from the next set of four, and you can see how they are becoming more abstract.
These two are from the final set of four, and the last of the smaller format of 20" x 16". You can see how the abstraction is becoming prevalent as I let go of a predetermined idea of what my painting should look like and allowed the paint to express itself to me.
