Abstract Buffalo Painting in Red Yellow and Blue

Abstract Buffalo Painting

Yep he’a an abstract buffalo alright, sometimes called a Fubalo my my late wife Janet. She was great at naming things. She named our cat Backup, another one Mindy Clark, and our dog Schmutt.

So anyway it’s an abstract buffalo because she said it was and so it is.
To me it looks like a cross between a rodent and a bird but I don’t think anyone will ask for that.
Art is about surprises and sometimes modern art needs to show up in unexpected places like subway walls and buffalo’s that aren’t quite buffalo’s.

Abstract Mouse Painting

Sexy little mouse?
I usually am awarded this kind of keyword. A mouse is just what I made of it. Others see something else maybe. It was the purpose to let the viewer make his own decisions as to what it is. That doesn’t work out in this venue, the internet art gallery. My robot friends want to know where to put it. Someone will actually ask for an abstract mouse painting. I know these things because I’m already there for cat, turtle and a bunch of other abstract animals. At least my abstract cat painting is an abstract. Most of the others look like cats. LOL. There is another artist somewhere saying, “At least my abstract cat looks like a cat.” LOL again.

So this is my abstract mouse painting. I have to keep these two painting apart to protect the mouse.

Mural Wall Art- Forgotten Art- My Wall

Wall Art, a Mural

This is an abstract I painted on a wall in my house. You can repaint the wall after I’m gone. It is a all mural……I happen to like the colors. I’m not sure if the profile is saying phooey to the world orwhy he’s  sticking his tongue out. I never intended a statement of any kind. It’s just a mural which will be lost as the new tenant goes, “Oh my let’s paint over that! What will peoiple think.”
We I think it’s quite pretty.

Janet at Table

Here is a painting I did of Janet at the table. I have no idea where this painting is. I have only this image. The girl at table painting still exists somewhere in the world. It represents a time when my wife was here.

An old poem I wrote for Janet many years ago:

I am worn weathered wood.
I have seen the storms,
felt the hot sun,
endured the wind until
I am cracked.
My colours have faded into
burnt siennas from red under
the sun’s rays.
I have seen the owl at night and
the hawk in the day for
I am a window in this wood,
this weathered wood.
I am a window or
I am nothing.
I am a window.
Sneek up, take a peek
into my panes.
She will be there, sitting
at the table
having her tea
or holding her cat
quietly

End of Summer Painting- by Glenn Merchant

Summer Painting- The End of Summer

This summer painting really reminds me of summer.It is by Tennessee Artist Glenn Merchant. This is an abstract painting of a tree. The colors play with the eye. I really like the tree.

Here is and end of summer poem by Wayne Jackson (1951-1989)

August laughing wind
bouncing against the open window
extending a finger
into the corner of the summer
to ease the curtain aside
and gently blow a kiss
on my sweating brow

Here is Monet’s End of Summer Painting:

Claude Monet End of Summer

There are certainly similarities in color relationships here. Merchant is a more modern form of Monet, drifting into abstraction, but with the same intent, to capture the colors of the moment. To excite the eye.
