From a distance you may not
be sure what to make of it. A wink and a squint may put it into perspective. It
could be the far side of the moon…or not. There’s color, direction, movement
mixed with wonder.

On closer examination,
there’s texture, depth, layers of intrigue. There’s no mistaking the creative
mind at work. This is not a happy accident or haphazard work of art.
Step back and take in the
full view. You are looking at Jackson Pollock’s “Number 1”. His ‘drip painting’
technique may look abstract, but his abstract expressionism was a dance with
color. He described it as a ‘harmony’ when he was one with the painting.
It’s nice to get lost in a creative project.
Many of us have a tendency to ‘doodle’ on the sides of our work…to get lost in
a daydream. It’s a form of escapism. Let’s ignore our reality to give our brain
a break! These are stolen moments of creative freedom. You should enjoy each
and every moment.
I’ve found a fun website to imitate the style
of Jackson Pollock. It’s fun and allows
you a colorful creative moment or two. Each visit will be unique and no two
creative moments will be alike.
Happy creative doodling!
