Watercolor Wednesday: A bit of the abstract

I don’t know what scene my dad was painting here – was it a little town in Germany that he glimpsed when they went on their riverboat trip a few years back? Perhaps. I like how this painting evokes a feeling of intrigue because of its abstract nature. That’s true in life, too, I suppose – when things appear a bit abstract, we can go searching to find out more. Or, of course, we can merely give up and move on!

Which is your preferred response? Do you like a bit of the abstract, or do you prefer things to be concrete and more defined?
