What is the Question? 有問題嗎?

This painting is a detour from my regular oil painting style.  I just completed a workshop in collage from artist Vie Dunn-Harr.  I have never done an abstract painting or collage before and had no idea how to read or appreciate an abstract painting.  After the workshop I believe I've gained knowledge on design elements in making a stronger art.  Here I painted duplex canvases in abstract forms.  I then added a few flowers and trees as the focal points.  You may want to read whatever you like on the shapes and movements of this painting.  After I completed it I saw a big question mark that I did not pre-plan.  Do you see it?  Life is unpredictable.  We have to deal with whatever are thrown at us with our best ability we can.  Life is like a big question mark.  Don't you feel that?

I framed these 2 canvases in the Illusion black/gold frames.  They look beautiful.
