I am exploring his process of making somewhat of a grid, playing with color not as a chart but in a non-academic way, allowing a feeling to lead my way. Soon these non-objective paintings take on shapes that suggest something familiar to people. Such is the case in this full sheet watercolor, "Playful, Cad Red to Viridian.

I've always had a very hard time painting abstracts because i always end up seeing something in them.
I didn't care if this painting soon lost the non-objective abstract quality. So the an eye in the dog-like image helps to make others see the same as I did. If I wanted a totally non-objective painting I would simplify to basics like the grid or stripes. But I rather go with the flow and let the shapes stimulate my imagination or my viewer's imagination. Because of my interest in how the colors worked, the colors will be labeled.
Rain, I remember a successful red and blue abstract of yours in that it kept it's non-objectivity.
