The red bull literally jumped out at me after I created this digital abstract. Although abstraction is intended to be non-representational it cannot be totally removed from the substantial world – rather it is also seeing familiar things in a new way.
Learning how to take complex subjects and simplify them down to abstract forms… Seeing basic patterns amongst the “noise”; seeing basic forms amongst the complex; seeing the few important details which convey the majority of meaning.
Dan Scott ~ The bull by Pablo Picasso
Picasso took it a step further by adding the mythical bull between the realistic and abstract depictions. Perception is what allows everyone to experience the world in a unique way…
Photoshop Friday and having some fun with edits and apps!




Nope, don’t see it, not me, not if I was locked up in a room alone. Well, maybe That, but it’s a stretch. I do see a dolphin and many birds, and I think it’s bedtime now. Thanks for confusing me, even though it don’t take much. (and did you identify the jest in the middle of this mess of mine?)
Dolphin and birds are there too – abstracts are the equivalent of the Rorschach ink blot tests!!
Of course I see birds…(K)
Of course 😝
