Untitled 16 (oil)

So nice to work in oil again...

The Rothko-esque form may be derivative, but endlessly fascinates me, and I find it holds so much potential for (color) expression.

This is 24" x 36".

(The photo has some unwanted glare in the left upper area.)

It's good to have a fainting couch available for art-viewing fatigue.

The sky here at sundown the other evening was amazing. All I could think was, Sonya Johnson would've really known what to do with a camera to capture the effect.

Untitled 11

Completed last night. I did have to use some horrible toxic solvent stuff (Liquin) to make this work. That's the bad part. The good part is, I love the result.

My oil abstracts have definitely divided themselves into two different styles or techniques: the thick, layered, scraped-into kind; and the smooth, thin glazed type (which I have just started to explore, in debt to and in awe of Rothko).

Who's in there?

This scene really reminded me of Cuba, though it was actually in India.
