My definition of 'abstract' is taking something and making it a more simple concept. This painting, for example, has taken a landscape and made it simpler and more creative than what it was before. Abstract is the lack of physical or 'concrete' existence. This landscape was merely an idea before the artist put it onto canvas. Abstract objects can only exist in your mind because they cannot be found in nature, but you can take the components, like colors and shapes, and make them abstract. The artist takes colors that could be found in a sunset and makes arranges them so that it makes a beautiful abstract painting. I believe this painting is of a sunset on a lake with a tree or rock lining the shore at the sides of the painting.
