This is the way my table looks when I work on an abstract piece. I often work flat, not at an easel, but on a table. And since I usually do abstract work in acrylic it dries quickly so I want to stand over it and work fast.
Not everyone appreciates abstract work. I think it is something that grows on you. Years ago I didn’t care for them either but over the years I have come to appreciate abstracts. And I really enjoy painting them.
Today’s Thursday Trivia question involves abstract. What is the most expensive painting ever sold? According to Wikipedia (and many other sources) the most expensive painting ever sold is Jackson Pollack’s No. 5, 1948 that sold for $140 million in a private
sale.
This comes directly from Wikipedia … No. 5, 1948 is a painting by Jackson Pollack (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956), an American painter known for his contributions to the abstract expressionist movement. The painting was done on an 8′ x 4′ sheet of fiberboard, with thick amounts of brown and yellow paint drizzled on top of it, forming a nest-like appearance.
