“Moonlight View at the Beach” by Barry Goldstein

My love in art is a mix of both abstraction and realism. Abstract art is treated similar to a puzzle where each piece fits uniquely together. The hardest part of painting an abstract is the mental work of putting it together. Easily a 6 month adventure for each piece. Realism requires paying attention to details that most viewers will notice. All drawings are created using a special mouse. When required they are combined together into a group, or an object. For example each blade of grass is drawn, and bunched together to create a clump, or group. My realistic paintings can also be viewed as abstractions. For example clouds and sea or land can be viewed as abstract objects that naturally fit together
