Oh, that's a good question. I'd be also interested, if you want to share, Kerry.
And yes, keep them coming :).
David In Indy:
I agree, that is an excellent question. Have you done any portraits of Jack and Ennis, Kerry? Or perhaps some of the mountain scenes from the movie? :D

--- Quote from: Kerry on March 23, 2009, 07:49:54 am ---Though portraiture is my first artistic love, I am also enormously fond of abstraction. I love the paintings of Mondrian, Kandinsky and Rothko.
Some years ago, I started painting small 10in x 8in (25cm x 20cm) abstract paintings for my own pleasure and entertainment. They are quite therapeutic to paint because of their small size (the larger canvases are just plain hard work) and I find the finished result conveys a certain contemplative, serene tranquility to any room where they are hung.
Here’s one such painting, in oils on canvas, which I have titled, “Isis in the Midnight Brightly.”

I like this best of the abstracts you have posted so far. I like the colors and the way it makes me 'feel'. I like the black spaces with the white dots (stars) that break up and contrast the bright colors of the rest of the painting.
I LIKE the shading and how there is no one source of light but instead the light seems to come from any or all directions...
very nice!
injest:
this one makes me curious...and I think if I saw it in a gallery I would come back to it again....why "Blood in the Water"? I see the red...so uniform and neat...not at all like blood would be in water...so I would think on it and try to feel it more...
injest:
and I like the bold black lines!
I like your use of black period. I think some artists shy away from using it. but especially in abstracts it really makes the other colors pop..
