Day 24, Elemental. 4.25 x 8 in. acrylic on Arches 140 lb. cold pressed paper. © 2017 Sheila Delgado
I had fun working on this. Had no idea what to do when I started. So I just plopped some color on the clean white paper. I had chunky blocks of clay and then I REALLY didn’t have an idea. I set it aside and started another piece.
Little by little, I added more color. I added white lines, then shiraz, and finally the indigo. It didn’t feel complete. I splattered lime to break up the dark areas. Next, white splatters and then indigo.
I didn’t realize until the end, that I had the makings of an abstracted flower.
Take a peek at everyone’s day 24!

This is so exciting Sheila! Love your experimentation and just ‘going for it’. Can’t wait to see more.
Thanks Janet, and thank you for following along 🙂 Loved your post today 🙂
I so agree with Dotty!!! You are on some amazing journey!!! Did you see that funny face?
No I don’t see it Carol, tell me where? It has been a good month for all of us Carol 🙂
Very nice!
Thanks so much Jill 🙂
This is super Sheila. No matter which way you turn it, it will make you think of something else. The best type of art – it leaves something to the imagination of the viewer.
You are right Val! I turned it several times. Also it can be cropped for different compositions. Have fun today 🙂
ENERGY! So cool- the lines, the colors, the direction. My immediate thought was flower!
Also, “Palm”-one of my favorites of yours. I love the diagonal horizon line, three trees. Such a contemporary looking design.
Thanks Laurie, so glad you like them both 🙂 I was having fun with the palms, half expected they would be scraped off or painted over. But Luck was on my side 🙂
You outdid yourself on this one. First think I thought when I saw it pop off the page was comics. I think it is the color and all the action that gave me that first thought. But it would be a perfect back drop for some super hero. Well done.
Oouu, I like that too Nelvia 🙂 Enjoy your creative time today 🙂
Sheila, you are traveling, girl! Literally and figuratively. My personal title for this piece: Expanding Universe : )
I like that title Dotty!
I had to look hard to see the flower (beauty of abstracts, everyone sees something different), what I saw when I looked at the thumbnail on Leslies blog was a windy day. Just going with the flow can often result in nicer paintings than planning the details.
So true Marion 🙂 I see your windy day now too 🙂
