Inspire Me Thursday - Abstract Art
Hurray for Misty and Melanie! On top of coming up with all kinds of fun, exciting, and inspiring challenges each week, they've now set up a new and improved site for Inspire Me Thursday.
This week's challenge was to create a piece of abstract art...not easy to do without ending up with a great big mess! I decided to just choose a few colors and go where they took me. I ended up with this Martian garden done in acrylics and gel markers.

Lovely colours...This would look great as a textile print...I can just imagine it on a long skirt :)
It is beautiful, I just want to keep looking at it. Love the colors.

Wonderful colors it reminds me of Persian art. Beautiful.

Wow, wonderful! I can say is I'm so jealous of your talent!
This is gorgeous--the blue on red especially. Good to see you're trying something in teh abstract vein here--love it!
I love it too ~ abstraction is queen! Bravo!
WOW! This really pops right off the page (or screen)!You have chosen such exquisitely rich colors and they combine so well with the flowing shapes. Just gorgeous!
Carla, I really like this. Beautiful. Great color!
Beautiful!I see this as a great textile print, too!
Oh that was my first thought, it would make a beautiful fabric print! It also reminds me of those beautiful chinese and indian shadow theatres where the dark shapes dance against the glow of the lit screen. Enthralling!
Gorgeous! You should paint everything in red. So full of energy and yet serenity at the same time. FAB!
Beautiful! it has so much energy and life Jx
I'm so in love with the colors you have used here. I also like your new version of angels and devils for IF.
Always wonderful to see what you are creating.
i love the way this piece reminds me of a mola. the colors are stunning and the placement of the flower-arm on the hill is so organic in it's flow.
very beautiful carla!
Beautiful colors! Love the blues against the red/oranges.
Smooch,
The Tart
BTW, thanks 4 always taking time to stop by my place! Always nice to see your face. ; )
Very expressive, almost psychedelic (sp?) Great work!
beautiful work!
Very very pretty Carla! I really like the color of the ground, strong and yet not overpowering.
I love this! it looks almost as though the sun is melting the flowers. Beautiful work as always! You were able to maintain your style even while venturing into the abstract.
Beautiful! Love the rich colors!
Rich colors and unique design work. I like the lime green against the bold red. beautiful
I wish to go for a walk here - what a happy nature!
Oh this is incredable. I love the movement in this piece and the colors just pop. Great job with abstract art!

It looks like you really let yourself go on this one. Still has your attention to detail, but I can see wider hand movements creating a very sweeping and fluid piece!
This is beautiful!! Reminded me oriental texture design. Love the color!!
Gorgeously psychedelic!
This is beautiful - you really seem to have a fine art knack!!
your work just moves me so much! It's so outstanding! I really do love it!!!!

I love your martian garden -- so much detail, it's captivating! Thanks for participating at Inspire Me Thursday!
Really beautiful. I love it. Could see it as a tapestry.
Ah yes...that red planet. So full of growth potential. All we need now is for Arnold (total recall) to actually go there and thaw all that ice so that there will be enough oxygen for plant life.
This is awesome! Love the rich vibrant but not overpowering colours. It feels soft like it was done on fabric. Evocative of another time. These abstracts of yours are brilliant!
