The possibilities are endless to the interpretations of any abstract painting. Through color, shape and line, a variety of associations may be arrived at. The atmosphere that an artist creates through brushstrokes and textures may suggest many different places or spaces. Color may provoke ideas and feelings. Shapes can be used as metaphors in a person's life. A line can direct a path or be a branch of a tree.

After spending time with an abstract painting, you may actually begin to see the world a little bit differently.

All purchases include a "ART from the HEART ACTIVITY" page for added fun for your promising young artist!
