I am taking part in Leslie Saeta’s “ Thirty
Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge”.
Today’s
quote from one of the New York School artists:
“I paint not the things I see but the
feelings they arouse in me.”
Franz Kline (1910-1962) was an American
abstract
expressionist artist who was born in Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania. 3 Franz Kline, known as one of
the first “action painters”, is most
famous for his black and white abstractions, which have been likened variously
to New York's cityscape, the landscape of his childhood home in rural
Pennsylvania, and Japanese calligraphy.2

His work might look like JUST
black and white paint to you, but each of his paintings evokes a different
emotion in me. I can’t always explain what I am feeling but if we hooked me up
to a monitor a physician would be concerned with how my heart raced!
My
Painting from Day 2 of the challenge inspired by his quote:

Does my painting arouse any emotions in you?
Please check in tomorrow when I plan to go a bit brighter!

I
hope you will join in, you can jump in at any time. I'd love to see what you
create!
As Leslie says, “It's about getting in to the studio to try new things. It's
about painting more often. It's about having fun and developing new habits!”
