“The essence of nature within the context of abstract painting takes on a unique character during the autumn season. As the leaves transition from vibrant greens to a rich tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows creating a breathtaking landscape that captivates the senses. This seasonal change is not merely aesthetic; it signifies a time of preparation for the colder months ahead, as plants and animals adapt to the shifting climate. The crisp air carries the scent of fallen leaves and the earthy aroma of damp soil, enhancing the overall experience of being immersed in nature during this time.

This connection to nature fosters a sense of tranquility and mindfulness.”

Fluid Symbolism Palette

Fluid Symbolism Palette. Digital art created on canvas. October 10, 2024. Afrika Abney When I create my digital abstract painting, it is important that I ensure that the colors are not overpowering one another and that each color's symbolism is conveyed through harmony and fluidity of brush technique. In this abstract digital painting, I used vibrant colors. Each color depicts a specific meaning. Purple represents dignity, while yellow represents optimism. On the other hand, gold-ochre and orange represent creativity. Lastly, red represents determination.

Pure Serenity

Pure Serenity. Digital art created on canvas. August 18, 2024. Afrika Abney The findings of my research indicate that the color white carries connotations of calmness, comfort, and hope. My evening commenced with the creation of an artwork titled Pure Serenity, an abstract digital painting that reflects my artistic vision. I initiated the process by laying down a pristine white background, which served as the foundation for the piece.

Dating Ethics

Dating co-workers in professional work settings is inappropriate. When employers hired me to provide a specific service from 1995-2018, I will always remain professional. I do not believe in dating my former co-workers of the opposite sex. I will remove myself from the setting first when I have noticed that I developed such attraction. Making a bet and bribing co-workers to go against their standards is unethical. If you have an interest in me, then you should have asked for my contact information. Numerous people do not know me at all. Contact me only by phone at 202-384-5925 Preference - single straight male over the age of 30 I no longer provide educational, career day and free services. It is not the past and I am not interested in dating women nor boys.
