Original Abstract oil painting the blue elephant

Fine Art : Paintings

 

11X14 Abstract art painting, "the Blue Elephant" oil on stretched canvas, signed artist L. Raenelle (also known as artist Leah R Mitchell)It's unusual to see artists that cross the divide of realism and abstract. We are generally expected to "pick a side", although I do think that most of us secretly enjoy multiple kinds of art. I do think that the polarization of art types, limits us as artists. Some things are expressed more easily in abstraction, and some things in realism. While I am trained as a realist artist, I truly enjoy painting in more modern styles. I use abstract work to loosen up, to have some fun, focusing only on shape, or color. I often paint small abstracts as a warm up to going on to work on a larger, more realistic painting. It allows me to get my head in the game, so to speak. To leave the responsiblities and pressures of the rest of my life behind and focus entirely on the canvas and paint. I also paint these small abstracts when I don't have the time or undivided attention to work on a larger painting. I enjoy these paintings just as much as my other work, and hope you will too.
