"Flow", abstract painting by Manisha Vedpathak

Every painting has a life, has a story to tell. I came across something called " notion of flow".
This is a state of heightened focus and immersion in activities like art, play and work. Well...in my case it is art.
Exact feelings I had when I started this painting. I got so immersed in painting. I was positively energized. There are times when I paint crazily for 2 hours and then sit back and do the finishing touches the next day. And then there are times when I want to be calm and quite and take 4/5 days to complete a painting , sometimes a week. I was in a state of flow when I began this painting. Yesterday evening I started and finished in two hours with some touch ups done here and there this morning. I have used color flow as well as my fingers to paint. Thoroughly enjoyed. Had ultimate experience of satisfaction.

  1. 'Flow' - Abstract at it's best - grabs the viewer and takes them for a ride ... much like a roller coaster or catching a huge wave and momemtarily sitting in the cocoon - as overhead - huge 20 foot waves rush to shore. This painting is one of those. I have bookmarked your site and will be back.
