Working Photos into Abstracts

I've been experimenting with turning my landscape photographs into abstract works of art. It is still a work in progress but I am enjoying the process and liking the direction they are going in. I have no preconceived idea at first of what I want a photograph to look like. And it takes many many steps to get a piece to a place that works for me. I only know that when it is going in the right direction, I can just feel it in my soul. Often it is the color that determines when the photograph is done. One thing though that is a must. Each piece must start out with a great photograph. Hope you like these as much as I do.
