Art Institute of Chicago

As a teacher, I can go to the Art Institute of Chicago for free which is a wonderful perk.  On a recent trip I found some abstract pieces that I really liked.


Look at the wonderful, bright colors!


This piece makes me think of a colorful tree.



I loved the layering on this piece. Is the color on top of the black and white background or underneath it?

A close up does not quite solve the
puzzle of what paint is on top.
I want to try making abstract (non-representational) art.  Color, texture, layering, mark making.  How do you know when to stop?  The first step is to start!  I will let you know how that goes.
