What we see in an abstract painting has a lot to do with where we are in our life. Our perception can change as the circumstances of our world change. Our mood, what just happened, who we are with - all can influence what our mind sees when we look at a piece of abstract art. We have just closed the books on one year and are about to start a new one. Just as with art, our perception of our life can change as the circumstances of our world change. What our perception of these seven paintings will be in a year's time is as much of an unknown as how we will perceive our own life and the world we inhabit.
