Featured Abstract painting-comments please

Hi all,this was about $1.
Thinking 70’s. I like it and think it’s well composed. I can almost imagine figures/people moving in a busy crowd. What do all think of it? Possible skill level of the artist? It is 46x61cm. Thanks for any comments

 

Ditto.

Or flowers in a glass vase.

Is that mold on the back?

 

Thanks AJ. Yes,could also be flowers I suppose.
Definitely mold,brushing it off and will then see

 

I see flowers too. I like it. A light cleaning might bring out some of the brighter colors more.

 

That's my first impression, too.

 

Appreciate the comment. Thank you

 

I don't think dry-brushing is a good idea...at least without a respirator on yer face!

 

Agreed. Thanks.
I have a dust mask..

 

A vase of flowers and I think a tad earlier. It's a very appealing work but do be careful with the mold.

I see a large tree with bright foliage and a city sky line behind it...

 

I'd say vase of flowers. As for the mold - saturate a paper towl with vinegar and wipe at it first that way. Then replace the cardboard.

 

I also see a tree when looking straight at it.

 

Sounds like very good advice. Thanks

 

Thanks for the comments all.
I now also see a vase with flowers (well obviously) clearly must have been the artist’s intention. Maybe if I stare at it a while longer I will see the tree. Still I
liked my initial figures moving in crowd image better (but now I can’t ‘unsee’ the vase )

 

no one sees the buildings at the top ?
I've never seen flowers with right angles..

 

Still on the ‘tree thing’ then I’ll move on to seeing potential buildings

 

Ok I see like skyscrapers or apartment buildings .. something like Central Park.

 

Certainly a bit of a Rorschach test then. (Central Park?!)

its actually a really good painting, and for a whole dollar

my problem is the colour, no joke i threw up that exact palette as a kid after eating to much cake, and yep..............even the brown

 

Well that is interesting to know! Chocolate cake right..
