Abstract #3

This is only the 3rd abstract collage I have ever created.  Pasted to a book cover are two vertical strips of brown construction paper, an ink inscription on an endpaper from a vintage book about Chilie, and bits of two different deconstructed abstract paintings.  I have acknowledged the artist of the main work I tore up and his name appears on the bottom (both left and right) of the collage "Theodoros Stamos".  Though it appears random, abstract collages take me a long time to formulate.  My figural collages come to me much easier.

    Nice image Angie. I, too find abstracts a challenge, I'd like to study abstract art a bit more.

    Well I'm glad you've been in this challenge with me on these abstracts! I really appreciate that! I think we all look with a different eye now when we see abstracts in the future ;))
    And you did a great job with this one Angie, I love the yellowish green color and the overall composition.

    Excellent abstract, CC, and here's a third voice for the difficulty of abstract compositions! I wonder why that is.....

      I don't know. Maybe we are overthinking it? Or maybe we have a problem thinking abstractly? I don't know.
