Against The Flow



And now for something different.  This is a portion of an abstract painting I just finished.  To me it means the struggle against barriers in our lives.  No one is without them.  Do we find a way to flow around them, or do we stagnate in place?

I don't really understand (or appreciate) non-representational art.  It's too vague, it raises more questions than it answers.  As a rational person that bothers me.  But it certainly gives the painter a tactile, wordless way to express feelings, which is valuable to that one person.  However, I'm not sure they have enough meaning to anyone else that they belong in museums.  What do you think?
