Dr. Professor, I really like images 2 and 3. They're interesting to look at, they fit the concept of abstraction by not being obvious objects and having an intrigue about them. I'd suggest using those as inspiration for further abstraction pieces.
Hi Jack. I agree with your comment. However I think that your fourth image is your strongest visually and contains a lot of complexity. The one thing to caution you and anyone else, when making abstractions is that you want to make sure that your subject isn't simply repeating itself. Sure it's perfectly fine and perhaps even ideal to have repeating lines, form, color or whatever. But too much of a good thing can sometimes be a bad thing! So be sure there is negative space or some form of transition in your images where you are repeating forms. Your first image shows too much environment and while your last image could easily be defined as an abstraction, I don't find it to be exciting! Good Luck!
