3 stages of an abstract painting. Probably the most emotional painting I've ever done

1st layer of an abstract painting with pale blue, coral and dark green

2nd layer of an abstract painting with text, red paint runs and purple patterns

3rd layer of an abstract painting with darks and lights added and some orange over painting
