Abstract Art: Painting Vs. Drawing

By Abstractartbylt @artbylt

I often move back and forth betweeen drawing and painting abstract art.  I have tried in the past to create something in a drawing similar to what I've done in a painting.  It's always interesting to see how an idea or image is transformed when executed with a different media: pen and ink versus paint. 

For example, I've done some paintings that give the impression of a meadow with flowers in an abstract way.  I tried to get the same general sense of an abstract landscape in this drawing:

Here's a painting with a similar theme:

  Contemporary Art 2, 24" x 18" acrylic on paper.

The medium may not be the message, but it certainly influences how an idea is communicated.
