#6 Modern abstract painting in blue

Following on from the previous painting (painting #5) I again set out with no clear idea of what I wanted to paint other than a basic notion. Painted quickly as a simple monochrome painting of blue acrylic paint allowing myself half an hour to complete the piece. However I soon felt that the painting needed some definition and  added a touch of red to deepen shade and provide contrast. The broken finish is a result of the hasty brushwork but seams to add to the overall feel of the piece.
