This is one of my early explorations of natural abstraction. I used leftover glazes from a decorative art project I had under development. I laid the canvas on the floor and poured the different colors from about five feet above.

Fine Art by Mark Newton

Throughout my life of fascination with visual art, I developed a special interest in what I have come to refer to as "natural abstraction." During my career in the painting trade, my curiosity and aptitude for interpreting natural patterns turned into expertise in creating faux finishes and other specialized decorative arts techniques. Decades on, that career has earned me the freedom to follow my muse in a deeper exploration of this natural abstraction. The most successful results are inventions of something new yet bearing the familiarity of something arising in nature. I want to invite the viewer to see nature in things we don’t easily recognize. I hope others will find these explorations as compelling as I do.
