Reclining Girl continues within my abstract series. The piece consists of basic elements that are non-descriptive, and are suggestive in shape, color and value. I applied texture with gel onto the substrate before and during the painting process. I painted the girl in only after the piece suggested the sofa to me.
It measures 11"W x 10"H.
This piece is another created in my "abstract series." You'll find lots and lots of color and texture, both in the background, and especially on the fish. The layers on the angel fish seem to shimmer with light, just like real fish gills. The colors are very pleasing and pop from across the room.
It measures 10"W x 11" H.
This abstract takes the "cruciform" shape...a universal symbol. I added loads of texture, shape and color to add interest. The ring shape is etched with symbols suggesting language. Hence, the title Ancient Writings. It's a fun piece, and is just full of pleasing colors. A black contemporary frame really pops them out. You wouldn't overlook this piece hanging on a wall!
It measures 11x10.
Farm on the Hill was a blast to paint! I created all these textures which developed into sections that looked just like "farmer's fields." The colors are rich and warm, and everywhere you look there is another interesting texture or shape. It is framed in a copper colored metal frame under glass and matted. It measures 11x15.
Here's another colorful abstract. The shapes started to suggest buildings, so that became my objective with the composition. I named it "Inner City" to conjure up images we all share, each with our own versions.
This piece measures 11"x10" and the acrylic is painted on watercolor paper.

This abstract piece measures 10"x11"
and has wonderful colored layers of magenta, blue, green, and soft yellow. Each layer is semi-transparent, so you can see the previous layers peeking through, giving you that "depth" that really enhances the piece.
The focal point, the orb, just bursts with color. You can't have a gloomy day with a happy piece like this hanging on your wall.
