I attended a short art workshop this weekend with a local abstract painter named Joe DiGiulio.  He has a wonderfully loose and spontaneous approach to abstract work and I am always looking for new abstract techniques.  I find his method particularly suitable for organic subject matter such as trees, flowers, rocks... I had an hour to create a couple of small pieces in the class and these are what I came up with.  They are quarter sheets (15x11" acrylic on watercolor paper).  I think next I will do some botanical subjects using this strategy.
