Today's post shows another of my "mini-abstractions" based on a potsherd. I've heard that folks come across various bits and pieces of Indian pottery on their property, often when planting a garden, putting in a patio, or digging a new foundation for a home addition. Fragments of history can exist just below the surface out here in the Southwest.
I began this little painting by covering the entire panel surface with black paint, scratching through the paint to make the design, and adding other colors.
I have a few of these "in progress" in the studio. I don't quite know what they'll turn into or inspire, but thought I'd share this one with you today.
Thanks for taking a look. See you next Monday.

I like this idea a lot. There are so many great designs in Native American arts. I'd like to see some more or your interpretations.
