Abstract September and October

I am starting a new 60-day Challenge. Who's in?

I love abstract Art, although I don't know that much about it, much less practice it.

Yet I would love to. It fascinates me, makes me think, makes me feel. But when it comes to play with it, I'm lost.

I love the idea of playing, in the Arts we practice as in many aspects of life, as Alan Watts stated it:

Here on Substack, I have been mesmerized by the abstract mysterious beauty of the works of Sonia Brittain, Sonia Otero, Cyeece, and Duane Toops, to name a few.

So as I was looking for a new challenge to keep me practicing, I decided I'd start a 1-a-day abstract piece for 60 days.

Would you like to join?

The 60-day Abstract Challenge

Starting September 1st to October 31st:

• 1 small piece of Art per day (size: A5 max.)

• Any media is fine: paint, ink, pencil, markers, collage, photo, mixed media…
