Abstract Fun

I tried abstract painting for the first time this week, the idea coming from Chelle Stein in her Journal 52 group, and loved it. I 'blobbed' paint onto paper and dragged it across with a credit card then took a step back and found images in it. How easy does that sound - well it wasn't for me!!! Think magic pictures years ago where you had to cross your eyes practically to see the image, well that was how this felt to me. To start with I couldn't see anything other than colour. I went away and came back, relaxed a bit and hey presto! I intended to make this a double page spread but they looked very different; the first page on the right was sharper, on the left hand page which I did second, the colours muddied a little so it took on a completely different look. So here they are. See if you can find the hidden pictures on the right hand page, there are six sets and I've added notes on the picture with the answers at the bottom!
