Tortuga Pilgrimmage

My dripping "Jackson Pollack" style of painting has evolved into a formula. I drip the paint in a random fashion. I use a roller to flatten the paint which also creates echos of the original drip. Next I fill in the shapes with various shades of a select palette. Then I find a form of which to accentuate. In this painting I found a turtle and a pilgrim. The turtle on the left is just his head and right front flipper looking from above. The pilgrim on the right is in profile as if a wooden sculpture on the bow of a ship. Another observer might find sea gulls flocking or flying south for the winter. And I believe that is the joy of the painting, not only the exciting vibrant colors but the variety of visions one might be able to spot within. An abstract painting with hints of visible objects. This painting will be flying south for the winter!
