Abstract Painting Studies.

This summer I am taking my last painting class, Abstract Painting, before I complete my B.F.A. studies here at the Savannah College of Art and Design. This course has caused me to confront a branch of painting that I have despised for many years, the dreaded "Pure Abstraction." I took this course a way to better understand the physical creation of "pure abstraction" first hand. Below are some selections from abstract studies of the nude figure. They are all done in ink and acrylic.
