Want To See Why I Love And Do Abstract Art?

Question: As some of you might already know I can paint realistic and surrealistic paintings (and do so often enough) and portraits. But over the years I've heard the cliche many times over that artists paint abstract art because they don't have the real talent to do real art. That's not always the case, my friends. I work in abstract art also because it allows for a whole universe, a mental landscape, of expression that realism and neo-realism often enough does not allow. Want to see what I mean here? It frees the creative soul and, when it comes out right, it's fun! http://pics.livejournal.com/unmired/pic/0003w0fc/g16 (As always you can click on the image to enlarge it.) Why do you paint abstract art?

Answer: I enjoyed looking at your art! Most of the time, people who are critical of abstract art are those who have never attempted to create it... I have found doing abstract artwork to be equally as challenging as doing realistic...especially when the finished piece is questioned by those who only want to see a tree with green leaves and a brown trunk... I love to let go of the rules and go abstract...it's very liberating :) Kudos :)
