Fire and Ice

Am enjoying doing abstracts.  They are such fun, and I'm finally (?) understanding how to do abstracts.  Not that all turn out perfect, but design is the key.  I know I should know this, since I taught design in a University setting, but how easy it is to forget the basics when you are in the heat of painting.  This is one of my failings, is that I love to sling and play with paint, but need to step back and remember the basics.  Maybe next I'll show you how I get too focused on details and have to step back and remember the whole picture.  Depends on how it turns out.  But I did like how the contrasts in this turned out.
