Abstract Art

I find it hard to take all the raw emotion of life and place it precisely on the canvas. I find it much more effective, to throw, splatter, smear, spray, dot, and slap whatever color of whatever material that your eyes draw you to all over the canvas and unfortunate surroundings. It’s a better form of expression. Is it confusing? Potentially. Is it complex? Incredibly. Can anybody besides the artist discover its story? Probably not. But life just can’t be represented in a fixed way. Or perhaps… I’m just bad at placing paint precisely on a canvas.
