When I paint, I keep little canvases next to me so that I can brush off excess paint. As time goes by, the colours and textures build up in a pleasing way, till I like it enough to frame it and hang alongside the original art or prints!
This is the little abstract came into being as I painted several fantasy artworks, including my 2024 Altered Muggle Art collection, The School & Village, the Ivory Tower, "Lunar Bovinae" mooncalves, and "After All This Time" doe. So it has little bits of each of these artworks in it. I make notes on the back of the canvas of which paintings I was working on at the time. (I've left in the photos of this canvas from six months ago, the yellow/blue shade has been slowly painted over... and as I'm working it may continue to be used for cast off paint!)
I like to mix abstracts like this up in with the art on the wall for a pop of colour and interest. It's also cute layered on a shelf with models in front of it.
