blue ribbons

an opaque paint today, made nice ribbons. oil on yupo, 8x10".
grumbacher cobalt turquoise, rarely used, but a lovely hue.

magenta harding sap

this reminds me of something ...
about 7x10" oil on yupo.
harding sap green is more blue than w&n.

falling leaf

6x6" oil on yupo, its a leaf, falling. ;o)
why do you think they call it "fall"?

twilight marsh

an abstract landscape. transparent orange and mineral violet, an extra long bristle brush, a rag.
i find great delight and satisfaction in creating this type of imagery. 6"x8" oil on yupo.

sea of green

used only one color, varied the strokes and values. simple but effective. sweet! a small one, 6"x8" oil on yupo.

time

can't be saved. gotta contemplate.

my blog displays badly in firefox.

this is called "fall heralds winter" about 8" square, oil on yupo.

bloom thrust

had a stretched linen canvas painted dk brown, decided to try abstract action on it, and viola! something interesting. 11x14" oil.

splash

morning exercise, 8"x6" oil on yupo. may work this more later.

eagles bridge

i used to dislike green, but now it's a favorite. listening to some good music "ah'nee'mah" flutey soaring stuff, hence the name.
about 6"x8" oil on yupo synthetic paper

algae

Another "freestyle", oil on yupo 10"x12".

rising

an advantage to painting on yupo is the ease of cropping an image, esp in the non objective realm i find sometimes i want to use a part of the whole. this is 8x10" oil.

when a leaf falls in the woods

in person this has a fractured-time quality i like. i think the image might benefit from more work, but it also might die so i will let it stay as is. i have overworked quite a few and lost the original idea.
oil on yupo, 10ish by 12ish.

Glow

orange glow woodgrain, oil on yupo 12"x10".

blue copper green striations

i considered doing a normal painting, but did one of my "abnormals" ;o) instead. not finished with experimentation. i'm old, not dead...
this might be considered mixed media, because i sprinkled on some metallic dry pigment and wiped over it to kinda blend. about 7"x9" oil on yupo.

its a relief

transparent orange and sap green on yupo. 14"x11"

have a great day!

marbelous

it is satisfying to work in series, exploring, stretching, searching for clues.
abstract work is exciting because i have to find the way, no map. this is oil paint on yupo synthetic paper, approx 9"x10"

paint manipulation.

ubqm

not much time today, this doesn't feel finished. i hear my mom saying, "how can you tell?) oil on yupo, 9.5x9.5" at one point it reminded me of a nebula, so i named it with initials. (ult blue, quin mag).

and viola! #3 in the thalo series.
