This painting has been swirling around in my head for a few months now. I really wanted to explore mixing acrylics and Prismacolor colored pencils on the same canvas. I think they contrast beautifully. The black shapes are acrylics and the color comes from the pencils.

What I love about abstracts is that everyone can see something different in them. My husband sees a face in this one and my daughter sees a bowling pin. I look more at the black shapes as the subject with the blue areas as negative space. If you do that, I think the black shapes take on a really organic, subterranean feel. Like you're viewing some strange underground pocket of shapes and color.
