“Abstract Realism”
(recognizable but not realistic)

To thank Abstract Realist Barbara Necchi for her October 2020 Zoom Critique:Paint from your imagination, or take one of your old realistic paintings (OK to break the rules here with an exhibit or challenge entry) and abstract it, but if you choose a magazine photo or a famous painting, you may not be able to exhibit or sell it.
