Abstract Clematis #1

From our garden
Clematis #1

Abstraction is not as easy as it appears. The first three tries ended up being representational.

This time I used the colors of the plant in rough proportion to the original image. Using pallet knives and a process of pressing painted plastic wrap into the image.

I’m staring at the result to see if it is done or not
