I started on a dark navy blue colored mat board which I had coated with acrylic matte medium several weeks ago when I was preparing some lightweight boards for traveling. I like the smooth texture of this surface.
I sat on the porch swing while painting under the cover of the porch. I'd hoped the slight movement of the swing would loosen up my brushstrokes! hahaha

After I got back home, I used up the paint leftover on the palette by making a little abstract.

Thanks for sharing all the photos. Its always fun to see the progressive shots.
You are really becoming an amazing abstract artist. This is another beauty. What size is the abstract?
Thanks! The abstract is 6x6.
On the cactus painting, I was hoping to get them to pop more, but couldn't get things bright enough. I think it was because of the dark panel, and trying to work on top of really wet paint. But I feel the experience of just putting the 'time' in is more valuable to me than getting a masterpiece.
