Abstracts With Writing

.
After all this time, I'm still always amazed by artists who write in their paintings; artists who combine abstraction with writing. By now you're well aware that this is no small niche. It's so pleasant to find those who do it well.
Val Rossman is one such artist and this example is from her Balance/Hubbub Series. The works here, are either pastel, or oil on steel.


There's a lot of rich variation in her oeuvre and three other series at her Website show the different directions in which she's leaning. Although there are gems in her Recent Work (which is a touch more spare and geometric), her Series - The Women, was by far my favorite.
