    I have been admiring Gerhard Richter's work for sometime and finally decided to give it a go myself
    The results are below. I actually really enjoyed the process, using acrylics and scrapers.

    I am calling it "Opposing Views", the 4 black vertical lines were accidental as well as the division of the two sides of color.

    Nice man, cool colors, looks kind of like a water landscape. I'd hang that.

    Ive been dabbling on the side with painting for 30 years or so. Finding time is tough. Plus I know my limitations - can’t do people, accurate still lifes, etc. Plus hate cleaning brushes. So like you I only use scrapers and other tools I can wipe off. Used to only use oils but recently got into acrylics. Big fan of abstract art. Keep it up, it looks great!

    I like it Robert.

    I'm not terribly big into abstracts (I think I have 3 'true' abstracts, one of which is a Jonas Gerard), although I do have 7 Georgie Pocheptsov works, including his first ever self-portrait, which, if I'm being candid, is a little dark for a [then] four year-old.
