Abstraction and reality

Abstraction – realism

If a painting is minus of any abstract elements or identifiable natural or realistic forms; it looks incomplete. What is the significance or weightage of either or both in a good painting? How does one draw a line between the two?

    Painting from the heart is the answer i suppose. Not for gain or recognition during the process but purely because it came from you. Can a painting lack one or the other. I can only think of canvasses that are filled with just one colour that would lack either- for me. But then I suppose it is a matter of taste. I love your paintings and apart from their beauty, it is because of what you leave out of them that makes them so serene and stunning.There seems to be some abstraction there.Are you painting at the moment. I havent seen much of you here lately.Every time I show friends red bubble I lead them straight to your page.We all agree that your work has an energy, pure and beautiful.

    Many thanks cathyjane, I am honoured. I have taken a break for few days. i always fear repetition. Breaks are good for revival. I owe it to my guru, family, friends, nature, divine and admirers like you. I am merely a channel or let’s say mirror. Beauty is within you, it just flows when you see my paintings. Thanks for your contribution and appreciation again.
