Shades of black. Perfect for my teen angst emo daughter.
I'm working on getting them back to the table. Then I'll ask if I can share the results. Baby steps for now.
Although, I'm starting to think just covering my kids with paint and accidently running into them with the canvas might be abstract enough. As I do it I'll say "Hey, I'm gonna get your "expression" one way or another."
Bear you are missin out here my son. I'm thinkin nude models..................not nude artist.
or maybe.....
Do a Pro Hart.
Get outside with variouse sized containers of different color paint throw, slosh dash, sploodge,sploosh and otherwise make a hell of a mess and then walk on it. Give it a wooky kinda name like "still life polar angst".
How about I get real flatulent, put different color paint around my anus, then fart explosively onto the canvas and call it Portrait of an American President?
That could be considered abstract expression right?
Mame - Those are beautiful. The abstract waves are the feel I want. Alas, I think I'll paint over mine and start again. This really is harder than expected.
Meanwhile, daughter still has a solid black background and I've hidden Bears canvas and the paint.
it really is hard, and it sounds so easy... i've painted over plenty of canvases. good luck to you, squin, you can do it, you can do it One trick some people use is squint at something and paint that and make sure you post the results! (and thank you!)
tell her it's action painting and don't be a wimp 
suffer for your art!
