A meditative change of pace

So here's a small study inspired by the work of Rothko. A voice my head tells me I'm abetter abstract artist than what I believe. When painting abstractly you are not confined by many of the rules of observation to make something look believable. However you still have to understand principles of composition, colr, line, and all the umpteen relationships that make an artwork successful. And even then, the battle to make something look truly beautiful to an artists internal liking is elusive at best.
