Donna and InkscapeWetland was the first abstract drawing that I bounced off Barb. Make in Jan 2022 as I was just relearning Linux and learning InkScape. There were many back and forth emails with Barb. versions 1 (2022-01-27), 2 ,3, 4, 4a, 5 (2022-01-31), 5a 2022-12-19,and finally 5f (2022-12-19) The "frame" in the Wetland file is not really part of the work. It was just added to the file so as to print it and help me with the alignment when I matted and framed it.
I like triangles, and I draw them again and again. Here they are just shapes. No intent to resemble or represent something. Just shapes. I made 4 different color versions, two of which I liked and posted here. Triagain version a and Triagain version d (this one edited where the points meet as per some suggestions from Barb).
Barb pointed out that these are 'floating'; I hadn't noticed. She suggested 'anchoring' to a floor with a shadow. Edited version of triA is my attempt, but now it really really looks to be floating in air. I guess I miss understood. Similar 'problem' in veggie still life below.
These six drawings are examples of my colored shapes design. I've seen several
YouTube vids aimed at school children on how to do abtract art in this style. (on paper)
I can do it too! Actually, I like all of these. I did them while learning and practicing
the path object boolean operators. e.g. difference, union,
intersection, exclusion, division. March 31 and April 1 - 25, 2023
Practicing reflectional symmetry, rotating, grouping, stacking
