What is Abstract Art

Now is that even a real question? That's like asking how to create a mess of our house right? Or how can you get lost driving around in the city? I say these things because abstract art is seemingly something that is just thrown together. 

But is it really?

Here is my definition of what abstract art means to me. A painting or depiction of a feeling, emotion, or thing. What do I mean by that? Abstract paintings look to be just paint thrown around on a canvas with random colors but in actuality (and in reality I can only speak for my own abstract art pieces) there is a complete or incomplete thought process behind each stroke and each color of paint. 

Have you ever felt that you could not find the words to describe or explain a feeling? That has definitely been the case for me on several occasions. This is why I love to turn to abstract paint. Also since being more of a realism artist I love the opportunity to be “carefree” and let a painting take on a form of its own.
