Introduction
Opensource Operating systems are climbing the usage ladders of the populations, as features are becoming logarithmically in par with other Operating systems that are for purchase. Especially Ubuntu has captivated the hearts of many users worldwide. Its estimated that at this rate opensource will the future of tomorrow.
Using of GIMP software is clearly mentioned in GIMP Tutorials available online or along with the software in Ubuntu operating system. It can also be downloaded from the repositories at Ubuntu Software Center.
Abstract art is a image that shows the mists of the painter's mind to the audience. It conveys a meaning or can be interpreted to mean some thing according to each one's perception. The intricate details can be so fine in GIMP that it can be made good use of to create wall paintings. It is better than Inkscape or Vector graphics in this regard. It has an amazing variety of tools.

Materials and Methods
On opening the GIMP software, a new file was opened and the pixel size selected. There are a vrieties of painting tools and also the size, color and design of the brush. To make an abstract art, a random choice of colours were picked from the palette. Use of tools like spray, pencil, brush, smudge, burn, fill were also left to imagination to make as many random images in various shades and shapes as possible.
Further tools like light filters to create sparkes, supernova, flames, fractals, enhancers, map, render illusion, tiles, glass, warp, sinus, apply fog, camera flares etc., were used. Other of the several options to convert the resulting images into van gaugh style, canvas, movie, wind, shadow, etc., were applied to the art.
The idea was to try as many combinations in as many random choices as possible. There was no end to making creative designs and choices in this software. When saving them as a file it was better to export the file into JPEG for easy use. Art exhibitors like (eg. Decora art gallery, India) appreciate abstract art and ask us to send the size of the file in jpg format to be showcased in the websites galleries along with the price tag. There are so many blogs where digital abstracts can be posted. Or it can be sold as wallpapers or paintings in Yessey.com

Results
Some of the images made possible through GIMP is displayed below
All the digital abstract art images were published in http://www.mistsofmind.wordpress.com It was named as word art, because each painting represents the meaning of the word portrayed.
