      <image:caption>I had a lot of fun creating this little piece. I chose to render it using loose, bright watercolors and ink to stay true to my style. But, I did a skull as a nod to the trending Halloween motif and paired it with sweet 1950s-inspired florals. On trend? Yes. Authentically me? Also yes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>blog - The art of abstraction: a lesson in capturing and understanding essence - Ode to the Woodlands*</image:title>
      <image:caption>While the black-eyed Susans are identifiable, the background of this painting is an abstract collage of the notable (to me) elements from the other photos. The splashes of red hiding in the background hint an ever-present blush of life in the forest (like strawberries and apples). The chaotic reedy strokes are a nod to the grasses that other flora and fauna tunnel up and out of. The shadowy blue vignette alludes to the dark and enigmatic nature of the woods. The composition is meant to have a swirling effect that envelopes the flowers like a nest. The flowers themselves spring forth in wild spontaneity. I honestly hadn’t set out to paint black-eyed Susans but they literally kept blooming out of my paint brush. In distilling these abstract characteristics that caught my attention, I attempted to capture the essence of my experience walking through the woodlands. *Click here to watch this piece being painted from start to finish on my YouTube channel.</image:caption>
