Sunday Abstraction: Pretty Balloons

Loquat "Harder Hit" from Evan Lane on Vimeo.

What is it about balloons that I think we all love? Lately I notice them everywhere.

As a little girl, I treasured every new balloon I would receive. Of course, it was all the more heart breaking
when I would lose hold of the string and the balloon quickly flew into the sky. I cried every time that happened.
I think all the pretty images of balloons reminded me of that. The funny thing is, I still love them!
Does anyone outgrow their love of balloons? I think not.

Sunday Abstraction: Faces

The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.

I've always had a thing for
a man in a bullfighter's uniform
I'm sure none of you
wanted to know that about me.

Sunday Abstraction.

Hi everyone! I'm trying to get up and running again.
I decided to do something that
will make me feel better.
I'm starting a new series called, "Sunday Abstraction".

Why abstraction?

For one thing
because I love the definition of the word...
Abstraction is the thought process wherein ideas are distanced from objects.
It uses a strategy of simplification, wherein formerly concrete details
are left ambiguous, vague, or undefined.

So.
These posts won't mean anything
They are just ambiguous images and thoughts.

I'm including this video that I am currently OBSESSED with!!
