You know ever since I painted that Picasso for Carol, I have been seeing abstracts completely different than I did before.
I find them much more beautiful than I did before, and I know it was that one canvas. It changed everything for me.
I never expected to... see it.. that way. I never realized the pictures I was looking at of abstracts was so much different than holding a real one in your hands. I still can not believe the emotional experience that happened between me and that canvas.
The Leyla canvas too, affected me, but that abstract just blew my mind. Made me see things differently. I can still see it so clearly in my mind, feel it under my fingers. It literally took my breath away.
Of all the works I have done and given away, I have to admit that one was the hardest to let go of, and I don't even know why, because I never liked abstract. Not really. It was so unexpected that of all the canvases, THAT one changed me the most.
But, I am glad I sent it away from me, because I can feel it, out there, like a candle in the dark. I can see the colors so brightly.
Now when I look at abstract works like this one, it is hard for me to articulate what I see. Like looking at it with eyes that had never seen anything else before.
One day I will do another one, but I am scared too, because I know it will make me feel totally greedy.
