New Abstracts


Have been working on my two large abstracts and making progress. The 36 x 48 is pretty well finished and here is a detail to show the paint quality and density. You can't appreciate the three dimensionality and physicalness of the paint and brushwork here but it is the look I have been striving for and will continue to expand on. Of course the newer one is a complete contrast and very bright and lively so will have to decide where to go with it. This detail is oil over an acrylic base and the new one is all acrylic so far. Since I paint so many layers and colors, the acrylic lets me get a good start on underlying shapes and colors before I get to the more physical and thicker oil layers.
