"Construction" , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

30" x 20" x 3/4"

Happy New Year!

Today's painting is another knife painting in the sytle of "Inner Working". This time with green/blue and light creme color scheme. This is a bit smaller too. Lots of texture and movement going on.

"The Clear Path" , Abstract Impressionism , Cityscape , Acrylic on Canvas

36" x 24" x 3/4"

A switch in painting styles this time out. I've experimented with a loose, impressionistic technique done entirely with painting knives. The scale of objects is distorted (streetlights towering over skyscrapers, lights bursting like flower petals) to give it a more surreal look. The cityscape street is empty, and the sun is glowing in the distance.

24" x 24" x 3/4"

Third painting in the warm, textured "Conclusion" series. This one is sort of a middle ground between the first two.

"Conclusion #2" , Abstract, Acrylic on Canvas

Second painting in the "Conclusion" series. This one has lighter, creamier tones than the previous painting. Still earthy, and fits well with the other two.

Creation Ebb, Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

36" x 24" x 3/4"

Another large splash-style painting. This one shifted quite a bit, once I left it alone, and it had to be reworked in a few places.

Conclusion #1 , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

24" x 24" x 3/4"

This is the first in a series of images exploring an earthy, warm color palette. It has a somewhat rustic, textured look and I've already completed two more of these that go well with it. I will be posting them by the end of the week.

Flowers in Magenta Snow , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas , Diptych

48" x 24" x 3/4"

I believe this is the first painting I've done with magenta as a prominent part of the color scheme. I don't know why I've avoided this pink-ish tone so much in the past. I think it's always been an issue of finding the right colors to complement it. Shades of violet seem to work pretty well.

Inner Working , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

Acrylic on Canvas, 36" x 24" x 3/4"

"Unseen" , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

36" x 24" x 3/4"

Another splash-style painting with a more delicate effect. This one was left to dry and recoated with extra washes over the course of a few days. The overrall design changed quite a few times during the process, to the point where it was no longer recognizable from the first coat. I think it has an ethereal, ghost-like appearance.

Red Mood Compartment , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

Acrylic on Canvas, 30" x 20" x 3/4"

A modern geometric abstract panel design with layers of thick rich texture. Tools used to achieve the look were various palette and painting knives. A glossy gel was mixed into the acrylic for the center square and layers of thin, transparent glazes were washed over the textured center design. I love the sense of space and thick textures in these geometric panel designs and I intend to do a series of them.

Overflow , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

36" x 24" x 3/4"

A huge splash painting with some unusual and unexpected results. The design took on a very active and dramatic look after spraying water drops over the semi-dry paint and glaze. I like working this way as the process produces results that could never be exactly duplicated. A very one-of-a kind image results.

Long Day Ending , Abstract , Acrylic on Canvas

30" x 20" x 3/4"

This is the first painting posted up to the blog! Finished in one day and inspired by a very looong day indeed. I tried to stick mainly to cool shades with some spots of yellow for contrast and to bring in a focal point/light source.
