Wow, lots going on there. I like the busyness of it and the framing. But the old tire kind of disrupts the nature theme for me a bit.

I'm with you on that one, Matt, but after all, it's an "abstract." The tire adds incongruity.

Not really Abstract... "is a freedom from representational qualities in an art"...

I call king of imagery Tangles. Many of my painting of trees fall in this category. I would call my paintings abstract.

You’re right, Peter. Perhaps a better word than “abstract” would be “mishmash,” or “jumble.”
