Abstract Painting Collection

After spending years in the corporate world, Carrie Lee Allbritton returned to her first love with a passion and dedicated herself to making art through painting.  Allbritton has spentyears studying art and the use of color through workshops with national artists and her extensive library.  Basically self taught, she has surrounded herself with the influences of the masters of abstract/non-objective fine art.  Her work reflects her passion for life and love of all things beautiful.  Each of her paintings are created with the intent of capturing the mysteries of life and our planet.  She was born and raised in Houston, Texas and now lives just north of Houston.

With a growing list of dedicated collectors, Carrie Lee follows her own intuition to create canvases of remarkable sophistication and mystery.  Her viewer is pulled toward the painting as they find veiled images within the layers of paint and textures she uses so expertly. 

From the beginning, the use of pure intense color will direct and motivate the artist.   At some point, her years of experience, technique and intuition will take over to bring the canvas to fruition.  She prefers the fast, expressionistic stokes, occasionally working collage and "found" objects into the painting.  Often she impresses patterns into wet paint, or draws or scratches into the painting.  She even throws or slings paint at the canvas.

The artist succeeds in the expression of mystery, exuberance and elusiveness into which each viewer brings his own experience and reality. 

FUNNY FLOWER COLLECTION

The artist has just added a new collection to this website.  It certainly shows her diverse interest when it comes to her artwork.  These paintings are fun, colorful, and decorative.  Many are done on gallery wrapped canvas and many are watercolor paintings.  They speak to the lighter side of life, and shows Carrie Lee's zest for life and enjoyment of pure color.  All are abstracted just a little, but still recognizable as fun still life paintings.
This collection will be updated on a regular basis, so check it often.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ARTIST - BY THE ARTIST

One of the great pleasures of my life is teaching others how to express themselves by doing abstract painting.  I am working right now to schedule workshops around the Houston, Texas area, and the Texas Hill Country.  I will also teach anywhere else where there is an art group interested in my work.  If you know of a group or you are part of a group that would be interested in an abstract/realism workshop please let me know.
I will post a schedule by the end of October 07.  Should you be interested in taking one of these workshops please contact me as soon as one is posted, since they fill up fast.  I am a very hands on instructor, working individually with each student to be sure they understand the use of the medium, techniques and application.  The 2007 workshops will be based on using abstraction with realism, along with some of my brand new techniques and secrets.  I have been told that students look forward to my handouts each year, building their own "All About Abstraction and the acrylic medium"
booklets.

This website can now accept payment with PayPal and I can take credit cards and bank checks.  This all makes it easier for you to purchase one of my fine art pieces. 

PAYPAL DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY NOTIFY ME OF A PURCHASE - SO PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP WITH YOUR SHIPPING INFORMATION ETC.  THANK YOU

I now have a Blog as part of this website, when you sign up for emails you will receive updates, when new paintings are added and when I put a painting "on sale", which I will do from time to time.
