My Art: The next steps...modern and abstract

Well, the next logical step in my artistic development was to go completely abstract. I also wanted to go bigger. All my prior paintings had been done on canvases that were smaller than a piece of paper. Thankfully, I had received some gift certificates for art supplies, so I bought a bunch of bigger canvases.

With a pile of canvases lying around, I also decided it would be interesting to try creating a multi-canvas piece (or two).

The most enlightening moment in my artistic career came while at the Smithsonian in Washington DC. I came across a piece by Piet Mondrian. It was so simple, just white boxes with a few boxes in the primary colors. It was inspiring. I decided to do my own take on his painting, by recreating it with multiple canvases.
