4 ways to get ideas for abstract paintings: 4 ideas for colourful acrylic paintings.

As an 84 year old artist still paints every day, I never expected to see such inspirational artworks as yours. I appreciate the way you combine abstraction with thought and intention - not just a lot of colours daubed or poured haphazardly. Bravo! Please share more of your art and techniques

Thank you from an old man in Malaysia. I am 71 years old. Indeed, walking in the forest do give me inspiration.

The way you put the various colors on the wet canvas when you start the first stage of your painting to me, is perfect. In my mind, although not in yours, the painting is complete and does not require any further work or refinement.

My Mom told me "getting old is not for Wimps. Now I'm old and that saying makes so much sense.

Wow is right! I've watched many, many varied artist videos for as long as they've been available on the internet. You are one of the most inspirational and helpful one I've encountered. I love your vision, process and execution. You're really talented and helpful by showing us how you use your materials (rather than assume we all know how it's done) and the names of the colours. I love the ephemeral taste of your paintings in their raw beginnings, and equally enjoy them completed. Thank you for your generosity in sharing!

Love your no-nonsense approach to abstracting ideas running through the mind. One advantage of old age we have no time for nonsense.

Thanks for the information and the inspiration. From a 77-year-old artist still working in my studio. Love your work. Kind regards, Ken.

Having spent most of my life uninspired by abstract painting, after finding your channel i am inspired by both your painting and yourself. Thankyou, I intend to try my hand at my first abstract painting today.x

Hello, I have learned so much from your videos. You are so generous sharing your knowledge and experience. You've been a great help in getting me unstuck and painting again, this time with much more joy!

Thanks for your ideas and insights. It's true--inspiration is all around us. I appreciate how you describe not just painting the subject, but the subjective experience. Old people of the world, unite! It is a privilege not shared by most of the human race, sadly. Learning new skills--such as painting--as we age keeps us young!

Your work is amazing! You have a process and a technique.

Abstraction is such a beautiful tool to express nature! I love painting trees with "clothing." I add non tree colors, shapes, textures, and loose brushwork to dress them. They always remind me of people. Wondrous work, Thank you for sharing ❤

I’m really enjoying your paintings and technique, inspiration! I, at times, also feel like an old woman and you inspire me to get out and see, experience the places and events I want to and not worry about age… thank you!

You come across as an ageless, vibrant minded person who is happy to share so much of your talent with us all. I find so much hope and pleasure in listening to you, I am an abstract artist, I have returned to it later in my life, I can now please myself what I paint and feel so free every day comes fresh ideas, you have given me permission to explore them and helped me with choosing the new tools i need, I feel very encouraged I have subscribed, thank you this means a lot to me x

I think I have seen and enjoyed all your intelligent and inspiring videos. Please don't stop making them!

When I realized I had to pick a career, and not just find jobs, I evaluated my skills and talents: very verbal and small artist ability. I went to law school, instead of art school, and had a nice career. Now retired, I am working to retrieve my painting skills. I don't know how old the Old Guy is, but am likely older. I really am learning so much from him. Thank you, Mr. Old Guy.

Thank you for sharing your painting process, it’s lovely

thank you from a 77 year old female artist in Germany! I am a self taught painter from childhood on. My style has gone from kind of realistic to expressionistic with water colours with much success. However, now in my old days living in Greece I have started 7 years ago contemporary Fuid Acrylic Art, which pleases me a lot since the outcome is never predictable . I have seen your paintings for the first time and I must say I am thrilled. The way you transform the original view of nature into a vibrant piece of Art is just amazing. I hope I can learn from you. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Thank you so much for inspiration, I got it in the early stages of your paintings, so beautiful, calm and with such soft colours ! The old painter woman

So enjoyable to watch the evolution of your approach to getting a painting to come forth! Really appreciate you and your work! Tx jeanne
