I finally came up with some names for the new abstracts. The first one I was unsure of but was reluctant to put rocks on. It was so nice on its own. The same for the second. Its just a matter of naming them. I’m so bad with naming things. Usually I just get a bit of lyric of someones conversation on the bus or tv news of possibly a show if I’ve actually got the tv on. Something out of a book. I just open a book and look at the page. This first one was a bit harder but eventually I came up with “Meditations in Green” because it has a lot of greenish tone to it and also because it seems very, I don’t know, buddha-ish to me? Maybe that’s not what I really mean. But it’s as close as I’m going to be able to get.

And the second one. I’ve decided it’s finished just the way it is. Maybe abstract is my new direction. Although I have not give up on the rocks or the childlike collages. Just adding to them. I like the abstracted backgrounds. So maybe this is not even adding to it. Just stopping before I’ve finished? So here is the second one…..
