Art as Therapy or how I learn to deal with downtime by JL
A few months ago I started working on an abstract painting to keep my mind stimulated before I started the projects I am currently working on. I decided to tackle the biggest canvas I had ever used and didn't have too much of a general direction in mind upon starting.
I began by creating an underbelly with some words, "All work and no play makes James a dull boy". A predictable Kubrick reference, but also a commentary on how I felt at the time.
The final painting can be seen below.
I picked a handful of colors and ran with it, pushing paint around with a plastic card.
The result was a swirling blend of colors that flowed from my subconscious.

FOLLOWED. This is gorgeous and right up my alley. Abstracts are my absolute favorite, I just joined Steemit a week ago and am shooting to make my blog pretty heavily art-focused. If you ever want to talk shop I'd be delighted.
Keep creating! I love your stuff!

Great colors here, nice and bright and happy. Also always love to see that close up texture on paintings like this, makes it feel more real. I'm trying to get people making great stuff to submit their creativity to #weirdwednesday tomorrow. I think you'd be a great fit, would love if you contributed something.
