Cast Your Vote!






                                                                                                    I'm not an abstract painter, but I enjoy abstract paintings nonetheless. It's like listening to someone speak a language that I don't understand, yet understanding what is said anyway.

I wondered if there was a particular style of abstract art that was more liked, or less liked, than others. Love 'em or hate 'em, most people do have an opinion about abstracts.
  


I decided to try a little experiment. On nine 7"x9" panels, I painted a variety of abstracts in 'typical' styles. Then on Facebook and in our little local gallery, I posted the panels and invited everyone to Cast Your Vote.


Take a look. Choose your favorite and the one you like least. Tell me your gender and age group too, for statistical purposes. I am curious if certain styles may be more or less liked by certain age groups. Write your vote in a Comment!

   Age groups are less than 20,
20 to 40, 41 to 60, and over 60.   Get in on the fun! Vote!

The work isn't that tough.

It is never too early to pass on our skills. We never know how much time we have.
All those years ago, my granddaughter was more help to me than she'll ever fully realize. It might take seven times as long to get things done, but the time spent together is timeless.
