Your channel was recommended by Alison Darwant. I have been a Folk Art painter for almost 30 years and recently started playing with watercolor, pastels and markers. I just started watching a few of your videos - and I must admit rather naively - that I don't quite understand abstract art. I am trying it - but I don't understand it. Perhaps as I continue it will make sense. Your art is beautiful - the colours and textures and marks. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Welcome, Anne! So glad you're here! I was like you...I didn't get (nor did I like) abstract art. But then I realized that I didn't like any of the abstract art I was seeing. It wasn't until I came across abstract art that drew me in that I realized I was really liking it! What I have learned is that abstract art is not just what you see. It's what you feel when you see it. And, as an artist, I'm not just creating art for you to see, but for you to feel. I often get comments of how happy and joyous my art makes them feel. That's what I'm going for. However, as an abstract artist, you will need to find your voice. Meaning, what are you trying to express? It can be as simple as, in my example, a love for flowers. Or it can be very complex that has a deep meaning. Honestly, I'm not that deep! I just love how flowers make me feel and I create art that expresses those feelings. I hope this helps a little. Please continue to explore and learn from as many as you can. You'll find that you connect to some art (and artists) more than others. Then explore why that is. It will help you get closer to how you can share your vision (in an abstract way). Thanks for being here!! Keep on creating!!

Check out Jodi Ohl, another wonderful abstract painter. I agree with Betty. Abstract art is something that you FEEL. The more exposure you have to it the more you will get it.

Good for you for setting your own style with your life - we paint to process our own life.

It’s very true that painting is like solving a puzzle. Until I started painting I didn’t know that the ugly phase is part of the process. I also like to paint intuitively and I find that it’s like you’re being led through a maze. And you take some wrong turns but if you keep you will find the way!
