Red at the Bottom" is an abstract painting adorned with geometric grid lines. Dominated by serene shades of grey and blue - green, a gentle symphony of colors captures subtle movements. The composition exudes an enigmatic allure, drawing viewers into a tranquil realm where the contrasting red at the bottom adds a touch of intrigue and mystery.

This contemporary masterpiece adorned with a geometric grid, subtly guiding the eye. Dominated by soothing grey-green tones, it whispers tranquility. Subtle movements within the grid evoke a serene dance, while the red anchor at the base adds intrigue. A harmonious blend of structure and flow, inviting contemplation.

Mixedmedia green and yellow painting.

What attracts me to this painting?
Repeating shapes
Layers - some hidden/veiled
Complex color and value relationships
Eye movement around the painting
Visual textures, marks and lines
Wavering between depth and flatness. 

Lyrical abstraction with a dynamic orthogonal composition. Orthogonal thinking draws from a variety of, and perhaps seemingly unrelated perspectives to achieve new insights - two systems that do not interact oe influence each other come together at one point or juncture. Two lines intersecting each other at 90 degrees.

Beachcomber is inspired by summer vacations spent on the beach with my kids. It reminds me of a big, blue sky, turquoise water and yellow sand all merging together in the bright, afternoon sun as my kids run around combing the beach for shells and other objects. There is feeling, atmosphere, emotion and mood.

 

This is mixed media abstract and acrylic painting on wood panel. My process involves building up layers of paint and collage as I express myself emotionally. I work on multiple pieces at one time exploring the same idea or theme in different ways. Working on many pieces at once gives me liberty to express myself freely without getting too controlling at an early stage. As I am working, each painting speaks to me differently. It is important to allow each painting to evolve naturally. When the meaning or idea emerges, I start to make decisions about color and composition to bring the work to completion.

 

Being an abstract expressionist, I don’t like to tell people what I was thinking while I am working on a painting because most of the time I don’t know myself. I just want to experiment and explore...discover the possibilities. I really would like for them to take away from the work what speaks to them. I don't want to put any preconceived ideas into the viewer’s head. That is why I like abstract pieces so much, the viewer can form their own conclusions and let their imagination run wild.

Dahlia
24" x 36"

Large mixed media and acrylic

$1,775


This large abstract mixed media and collage painting reminds me of Monet's painting of Dahlias, except when you look closely at my flowers, each flower, leaf and vase is a mini abstract painting. Several layers of paint and collage were used to create this work. Some past layers are visible at closer inspection.

It was fun painting this, almost like putting a puzzle together .
