This is one of my early non objective abstract oil paintings.   It was created when I attended High School at Waterford Mott in 1973.  My instructor Sheila Joannitas and I worked on this painting together.  She was teaching me how to create an abstract painting using painterly and expressive brush strokes.   It was a learning process.

It was one of my senior student art projects.  This painting also won a Blue Ribbon award in an art competition sponsored by Waterford Mott High School.

Loose natural spontaneous brush strokes comprise the composition.  Nothing was re-worked or touched up.  Everything went in pure.
