For this weekly challenge I decided to imitate the style of artist that inspired me. I was just researching artists and I came across Jack Whitten. He is a abstract artist and I really loved his artwork, specifically one called April's Shark, which can be found here. I haven't ever worked abstractly for any artwork so I decided to try his style of horizontal brushstrokes. I also wanted some sort of subject so I decided to paint a woman's face that is blurred by the brushstrokes. It is difficult to see the detail in the photograph, but I also carved out little strokes in the paint of the background meant to give the appearance of her hair.
