Abstract Black and White Revisited
Action painting… an abstract expressionist painting using only shades of black and white…. a revisit of a previous work in the series Abstract Expressionism in Black and White. This painting uses stain painting techniques extensively in the first few layers. This culminates in a more traditional Pollock-style drip and splatter technique for a strong depth effect.
Red 1 Abstract Painting
Red #1, 30x40
It isn’t that I have given up on my project-series Black & White, it’s just that I need to work with some color once in a while or I will lose my way….
This painting also departs from action work back into color fields. It’s the kind of painting that has a bit of a neuron-bending effect yet isn’t too hard on the eyes. You could hang it on your wall.
Black & White # 7 Abstract Expressionist Painting
Black & White 7, 30x40
Part of the series Abstract Expressionism in Black and White – #7 is 30″ x 40″ on stretched canvas. This painting shows a lot of circular motion, which I find interesting.
Most of these paintings come to me first in my dreams. After that, I have to allow them to paint themselves.
Reflections
Reflections, an abstract photograph of driftwood and tide pool using a white balance color temperature of 3200 K (for indoor incandescent light photography).
Some interesting elements here include the mirroring of the water ripples in the structure of the driftwood itself, as if they are engaged in a common dance. They are joined by small ripples in the background sand for a perfect union.
