Martha's Spring Garden

By Steven Castillo

I was instructing fellow art group members on different techniques in abstract painting using a palate knife. Here I was teaching the use of contrasting color combinations that work together using various strokes and techniques. When I arrived home with this acrylic on canvas painting my wife Martha immediately took a liking to it. She stated that it has all the colors of spring and reminded her of a colorful garden. Ok so lets call it Martha's Spring Garden!
