I’ve seen a lot of black and white abstract art lately. (I even made some of my own.) I like pretty much all of it, but there’s something about this one that jumped out of me:

Such a simple trick to recreate the look of a “cleaner” abstract. Skip the mat and use painter’s tape before you start painting:
(I used the flat side of poster board, and the tape peeled right off when I was finished.)
