  1. Interesting…the first time i watched this i did not have a clue.This is m 2nd time watching and it does make more sense to me .The 3rd time i will try it.If i were more technical i would send you my first attempted.(I was very much off the Path.

  2. I loved the way you get an idea from still life forms & then attack your canvas with ever changing colours. I love doing abstracts & have done a few. Would love to have your comments on them.

  3. oh my Joyce, what a joy to hear your expression of its ok, will i use this, maybe, maybe not? Its a huge relief to me as a new painter, I am drawn to abstract expressionism and you have nailed it for me, in terms of how it feels, both intuitive and knowing. You have cemented my love of just doing in terms of my painting, oh how I love it! thank you!

  4. Don't be so rude previous comment. Dear Artist. Thank you for sharing yr art ideas and techniques much appreciated. I love this style, its colourful spontaneous and creative abstract. Esp the way you started and used the different materials to build up the images. Then bring it altogether. Love love love

  5. how can you teach a class, for something it takes 10 minutes to learn??? that's only if you forgot kindergarden..you are another art fraud, in my and many others opinion good luck with the slopping !!!

  6. I love the way she seems to take this thing so serious, but I really can see through her veneer. She is making fun of all the abstract renegades in a very unique way. Desperadoes that think this stuff is art is her real target. Real clever.
