The following is a
flash presentation of paintings...
something nice to see and hear.
I favor acrylics and oils,
but only one is very
affordable.
Most of my paintings
are abstract. I like to focus on scenes from life, everyday
objects, animals, and natural elements. I can be just about
anywhere and begin to see the basic geometric form of the things
around me. Details in scenes, environments, people, animals and
things begin to fade away to leave basic outlines, shapes and
forms for my understanding. Perhaps this way of looking at things
is promoted by the recent loss of eye sight from complications
with macular degeneration, or perhaps it is an internal method of
ignoring the chaos of life for the sake of simplicity. Still, I
have found a certain amount of complexity in every element of
life. Moreover, I have found myself drawn to certain tones and the
expression of texture, contrast, patterns, movement, and color. My
palette has so far been consistent, but then again you use what
you have.

statement and similar can be found on my Blog page:
