Abstract Art for Animals



This post contains photographs of the creative process behind my painting donated to First Coast No More Homeless Pet's a local organization in Jacksonville Florida that offers free or low cost spay and neuter for dogs and cats. They have an annual "Art Unleashed" art show and silent auction to fund their efforts to keep euthanasia rates down. Art Unleashed is a night of beautiful animal inspired art work by local artists, live music, and fabulous food.




This year I submitted a painting that was inspired by the work of Jackson Pollock. He was a well known American painter who was a key player in the abstract expressionist movement. In this particular piece I am using a drip splatter technique to convey feeling and emotion through action painting. Here are some photographs of the steps taken to achieve the finished result. Enjoy! :3
