Then and Now by grammyn

Then and Now

In the 80s when I painted in oils I used a wipe rag to clean my brushes as I painted. I was intrigued with the patterns I saw emerging and commented they looked very much like abstract art. I decided to frame a few and even sold a few to someone who thought they were great abstracts. Today with watercolor I just use napkins or paper towels and will NOT be framing any of them.
Truly artistic. fav.

Love you up, beautiful with the black backdrop and the light is super!

I do like this "rag'.
April 23rd, 2022  
This is pretty. I like the dark colors.
April 23rd, 2022  
amazing abstract you created. i photographed a few of my palette paper before i threw them away as i liked the pattern and the abstract-ness i saw in them. what have you titled this abstract then? aces!
April 23rd, 2022  
So cool👌❤️
April 23rd, 2022  
This is actually very nice! What a great idea to frame them.
April 23rd, 2022  
Wow, I love this one. Very abstract, but I see a garden.
April 23rd, 2022  
Whoooo... waait!!! That's a wiping rag?????? Stunning.
April 23rd, 2022  
One of my favorite painting stories! These wipe rags support my theory that you have innate composition skills… it happens even when you don’t try!
April 23rd, 2022  
Very nice shot
April 23rd, 2022  
What a stunning low key, gorgeous light, fabulous composition fav ( now you're going to it was a quick snap, which shows your deepset skill!)

Oh Katy this is beautiful, I can only repeat what Jackie wrote. I love the patterns and colours on that beautiful rag :-)
April 23rd, 2022  
Wow, I love that!
April 23rd, 2022  
I like that you’ve celebrated the journey as well as the destination. And great shot too.
April 23rd, 2022  
Neat
April 23rd, 2022  
Love everything about this.
April 23rd, 2022  
Oh my Katy, how wonderful this is. You are so talented, evidently in every medium!
April 23rd, 2022  
I love this!
April 23rd, 2022  
I’ll echo what’s already been said. I love this photo’s composition, light etc. FAV and also love that this framed, serendipitously created, abstract was a byproduct of another artistic creation like the beautiful painting that we see hanging above you every Thursday during Pigs. Never doubt your own taste. What you think is beautiful enough to frame IS beautiful and a whole lot of folks here on 365 wil probably agree with you.

lovely abstract
April 23rd, 2022  
Wow, why did you stop??? This is a lovely shot
April 23rd, 2022  
I really like everything about this, the colours, light, abstract and composition.

April 23rd, 2022  
@grammyn Huh! Where did I get the idea that painting on the wall was one of yours? I stand corrected. Still, your watercolors I’ve seen are impressive.
April 24th, 2022  
@mcsiegle You probably just assumed because I painted it was mine. We talked about it once a long long time ago but I wouldn’t expect you to remember either. No worries
April 24th, 2022  
I can see why you framed this one, it's an excellent abstract IMO
April 26th, 2022
