Gord - Abstracts should make one think, and taking something real and making an abstract from it is fun for the artist and the viewer. A while back I took a picture from the turret of a Welsh castle and displayed it upside down - clouds on the bottom. It's amazing how many people looked and looked and looked at the picture, not understanding what they were seeing. The fact that they looked at it for so long told me that they were thinking. I feel that this gives the viewer a more pleasant experience than simply seeing what they've seen in the past.
