"Surprise Elements" (sold)




















(sold)

Wild Yucca plants with their white blooms are all along the roadside in the Texas Hill Country. It was an unexpected surprise last week to see them blooming so I knew I wanted to post one of them. In this case the image came first, followed by the quote.

Line is a design element that generally forms a shape in most artwork. When lines are formed by making erratic or expressive marks, they don't always make a shape but create interesting texture. Most of the time, I try to create expressive line work that goes from edge to edge or very close to the edge. By doing this, another division of space is created. It is this type of division created in layers with previous layers showing through that creates depth and interest in abstract art. Just something to think about.
