Yellow abstract

By now I'm sure you know our host at Art Journal Journey is Rike of Rike's Art.  Rike wants us to use yellow as the primary or major ingredient in our art.


I created this abstract art this afternoon, with thoughts of my dear friend Cindy's abstracts in mind.  Sadly, I don't have her command of abstract art, but this actually turned out better than I suspected, even though I changed ideas twice while making it.

Once again, I had trouble coming up with a name.  Here are a few ideas:

Circular confusion
By the numbers
Hearts on fire
Hide your heart

For this page, I began with 110 lb card stock to which I added yellow circles, numbers (through a stencil), and swishes.  Next, I added red, green, yellow, and blue water soluble crayon circles and regular blue and red crayons through a stencil.  When these didn't look complete, I added the yellow gel pen through the same stencil.  Still not satisfied, I added the various doodles in green and black gel pens.   I now had so many disjointed and disparate images, I couldn't decide what to name it, so left it for you to decide if you like any I thought of, or if you have a better suggestion.

Thank you so much for your visit today.  I am always grateful when you stop by.  I also hope you will join us this month at Art Journal Journey with your yellow inspired art.
