Abstract/Whimsical Art by Dot Procter
I enjoy going into my imagination and travelling (with my art) somewhere I have never gone before. I love being totally surprised by what I paint. Sometimes I begin with words and drips and add collage, but then I let the paint take me somewhere I have never seen. In these paintings I can recognize elements of nature (creatures, flowers, landscapes), but they are dreamlike and fanciful. Each of these paintings surprised me! Also, I am endlessly interested in painting faces, faces that are totally built from my imagination. I have stacks of these faces, as few of which i have included below.
