Art of Taskin

This was created purely spontaneously and in one rapid sitting. My intention was initially to create serene landscape. I began painting the scenery, however very soon after I shifted to producing this abstract, I would call a 'spur of the moment' piece , done  while I was 'in my zone'.....                  'Sometimes the unplanned and unpremeditated  are the most joyous!
