Finding the Calm in abstract art

I have always loved to paint the backgrounds of a painting. It was joyable and I didn’t have to concentrate as much. Just play with the flowing paints.

Lately, I was having trouble to start painting something with a figure as I used to. I wanted to paint something for fun, nothing serious. Also I had some images in my head for flowy blue paints.
Then YouTube suggested me some abtract art videos and just watching them made me feel relaxed. I felt the urge to start painting instantly.

First I did some quick studies on paper, then on panels. I got some small canvases. The joy of getting new art supplies sparked my enthusiasmn ( I don’t need to tell you).

Below you can see half pearls I adhered to the canvas one by one. The idea with the pearls was in my mind for a long time but with a different painting idea. With a portrait to be precised.
