My abstract expressionism paintings fall under action painting and shapes. I used a variety of colors including blue, brown, light blue, green, red, black, purple, dark green, yellow and pink and some mixing of different colors. I don't know why I chose these colors other than I chose them to get a variety of colors on my canvas and mix them. In my first painting there are a lot of lines and different colors mixed together but in my second painting it's very symmetrical and there is a repetition of triangular shapes. I really like my second painting more than my first because I like how the second painting is more symmetrical and overall nicer looking. I dislike my first painting because of how chaotic it looks and I'm not a huge fan of splattering and mixing paint on a canvas.
