Why do some people like abstracts and others do not?  The more left brain you are, the more literal, and down to earth you are the more likely you may not care for images you can’t identify.  However the right brain person may be used to taking things at first impressions and willing to not worry about details but use their own feelings and emotions to react to an illustration.  Neither person is right nor wrong; they just have different expectations of art.  But if you are willing to accept art that is impressionist you open up a much broader spectrum of enjoyment.

The bold splash of colors in this image says  garden to me without my being able to recognize any particular flower.  Just the combination of colors says spring time to me.  I particularly like the strong reds and yellows against the pastel pinks and blues, it gives this illustration depth and a three dimensional feel.  The primary colors are in the lower left utilizing the standard composition of two thirds - one third which gives the photograph balance against the much larger pastel area. 

This is an image that could be interpreted in a number of different ways which is why I like it.  This is more than color randomly splashed on a canvas.  It also has composition and depth.  I don’t know what possessed this photo-artist to convert the original straight shot to this explosion of color but I am glad they did.
