“There is no abstract art. You must always start with something.
Afterward you can remove all reality.”
-Pablo Picasso

This is really fun. I have to force myself to stop because I keep trying out different versions. https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2018/07/25/its-abstract-but-is-it-art/

I like it, although Picasso certainly removed all reality. Not a big fan of his Cubist time.
