Creative Process: Abstract Painting

Remember that abstract painting class I told you guys about? It’s so awesome! I wanted to share the painting that I just finished today.

I’ve loved the process of creating this piece. I was so much less in a rush to “finish.” In the past I’ve always enjoyed painting, but still felt this urge to “get it done.” That probably comes from working in so many deadline-driven environments. I truly enjoyed the process and discovery of seeing how the shapes and colors and layers came together.

Here’s what it looked like in earlier stages.

Here’s one more look at the final piece.

If you like keeping up with my painting progress, be sure to follow me on Instagram. I share a lot of work-in-progress there that never makes it to my website.

Have a creative week! xoxo
