La Grain
While they may not get the same play on social media like my vibrant landscapes are wont to do, a big soft spot in my heart exists solely to express myself through the macro and black and white medium. Five minutes on a psychologist’s couch would most likely reveal this proclivity as a merger between…

This is abstract. Is this abstract? I think this is abstract. A quick googling of abstract art returns the following— art that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures.
