God’s art in nature
is all around us; He is the perfect artist by the way. When I’m planning an abstract painting, I am
really mimicking what exists in nature.
Stop and think about it, any painting you do or just look at, in order
for it to be appealing, whether it is abstract or representational, must have
several key elements.
First it needs
balance or structure, or you’ll have an unsettling feeling about it. In nature, no matter where or what scene you
observe, it is balanced. Gravity sees
to that, nothing seems to be falling down, if a tree gets knocked over and doesn't hit the ground, it is probably leaning against some other object,
therefore you have structure. If you
look at a mountain it is always grounded and never top heavy.
Second, texture and depth are an essential part of any painting, and once again nature is all about it, just look at a forest with all it's leaves blowing in the wind and the multiple layers of trees from one hill to the next. Also an ocean from it's constant waves in motion and at times white caps giving the scene a real feel of anger, to still waters that give one a sense of serenity. Nature takes texture to an all-new level, because it is always moving.

Third, color is the
best part of a painting and I feel it plays a huge part in abstract art. Nature is the king of color and if you
haven’t noticed all colors in nature match.
Whether it’s the deep blue sky against the snow-capped mountains, which
are surrounded by a green pine forest.
Or of course a flowing field of wild flowers of every color, adjacent to
a yellow and green meadow with a light blue brook running through it, every
color complements each other.
We think we're so good at producing art, seeing something beautiful and painting it on canvas, but the reality is, we are just coping the original work of the Master Artist!
