This painting is part of a series, each inspired by, and painted under the influence of, a particular blues song, and each using a triad of colors centered on a different blue. This one used Winsor Blue, quinacridone burnt orange, and quinacridone magenta. The blue linear pattern actually reflects the rhythm of the song, so in a sense the painting is representational.

Shapes of autumn leaves are only suggested. Transparence, superposition of washes and textures are present to convey depth in the composition.

this painting was done as an experiment with painted rice paper then collaged onto watercolor paper in a composition and then again painted in places to increase value or color. the result was a mystic looking treescape!

My first attempt at an abstract landscape after a workshop with Tony Smibert in Tasmania - I love landscape and to reduce it to it's bare elements is something that I strive for

This is one in a series of small abstract paintings on Yupo paper in which I used petroglyphs as inspiration.

I started this painting without a plan, just putting some cool colours on the paper in a light wash, coming back a while later I got the feel of a cold, icy landscape, so I put some more cool colours down, coverd the wet paint with cyran wrap used some white pastels until I was happy with the result. I can't tell you what it is, but it feels like Antarctic to me.

Mostly watercolor with some acrylic, this painting is mostly symbolism, both good and bad, that relates in some way to a casino.

Quite frankly, the painting started out one way and ended another way. I had previously painted a small-sized painting of large rocks with a waterfall and wanted to paint it again, but larger. It failed and so I cropped and this is what came of it!!!

This is a painting of the Treasury Building in Petra Jordan. It is all carved out of rock.

This is a design exercise contrasting straight lines and curves and using intensity contrast and complementary contrast of colors to emphasize a focal point.

I have been thinking for a while on how to add another dimension to my painting by using mysticism. This is the first one in that line.

This started as six separate paintings divided by one inch borders. I was contemplating the irony of a unified Europe facing the ruptures from Ireland and Greece on a recent trip abroad and this evolved. Gouache adds an interesting surface tension and provides a way to restore white areas that help energize the painting.

Okay, the nude is representational, but I think the presentation gives an abstract asapect to it.

From my serie "Womem's Moments".Semiabstract technique. "Europe", so simple.

This abstract painting was executed as a mono print. I have done several of them and always like the unforeseen results of shapes, lines and the blending of colors.

Enlarged, the cracking open of an orange Oriental lily takes on an abstract quality.
