Day 357

I started revising these abstract paintings last week. I painted them sometime in the past year, but I was never all that thrilled with them. Too loud, and colorful for my taste. I prefer toned down colors, so I’m not sure why I left these like this. I think basically I was pressed for time, and had to pump out something for the daily painting project. I also think I was coming to the end of painting abstracts for a solid month, so I was burnt out. I know I switched back to painting portraits right after I painted these, which is always a sign of fatigue or boredom for me..when I switch my subject matter.

They all look sloppy to me, and they have to go. As the listings on Etsy are expiring, I’m snagging the paintings out of storage, and they’re getting revised. These are more my style.
