SOLD


I am just finishing up with this one and have absolutely loved working with this limited cool palette.  As I am posting this one I just looked up to look at Supple and it hanging upside down.  But, I must say it appears to be working quite well that way too.  Often, one of the most difficult decision with these abstracts is determining the strongest viewpoint for display.  This one has two horizontals and a vertical that work quite well.  You be the judge!

Completed Fantasia







Just having a lot of fun as I got totally absorbed with color.  I've been told that my work involves a complexity of layers.  I really can not explain how it is that I do it, other than I usually stick with a painting until I reach that point that I feel there is completion. Larger paintings can be exhausting. Sometimes I may stop too soon and then there are times where perhaps it's been over done.  I am never satisfied with either one of those.  I posted this second painting so you could see where I had stopped, thinking I was done.  As I was giving a lesson, (sorry, Dina) my eyes kept going back to it....searching, searching.  Just needed a little something, but what?   After having taken a photograph of it, I was able to see the change I wanted to make.  So back into it I went!
