Friday Art - New Paint Markers and an Abstract



 I got these new Manuscript watercolour paint markers and a couple of new white pen markers using a gift card I had won.  It was fun testing them out and it resulted in my abstract below.  I have seriously seen this kind of art at my dentist for example.  The owners have very minimalist art taste.  You ask yourself  'is that a painting really?'  But my black and white abstract is growing on me haha.

Also joining in with Nicole's Friday Face Off.  Sharing an old portrait I did of my late mom who passed in 2017.  She loved her ice cream.

I got an error when I tried to publish. Did it twice. Now I'm back for a third time.

I actually like that black and white abstract. It is definitely minimalistic. Of course, I really like the painting of your mother.
