i love abstract art, originally uploaded by judywatt.

The colors didn't come out quite right in this photo, but you get the idea anyway. This one is 24x24 inches and I just love the texture and color.

I've loved abstract art since I was a little kid. I used to cut out pieces of magazine pages that were just blocks of color and then make collages with them when I was maybe 10 or 12.

After not painting for a while due to lack of space, I am getting back into it and it is so much fun. Art should be fun above all else, for me anyway.

I am not into that whole "suffering artist" thing - if I am not having fun doing it, you are not going to find me doing it. There are enough things I have to do in life that are not fun, so art has to be fun for me.

Life being too short and all that. :)

i love that one. :) i agree, though i'm a suffering artist by default ;), when i create art, it's my healing relief/therapy/fun.

it's therapeutic for me as well - what i meant was, i am not into suffering while doing it! :)
