Additional Vision Paintings

 
These few paintings were completed awhile ago, maybe a year or more, but for some reason, I neglected to post them to this blog. Now here they are.
My vision paintings are paintings of visions that I have, in dreams, or sub-conscious states.  I try to remember them when I have them, and sketch them down on paper, to be later finalized in paint.

The following paintings aren't exactly vision paintings, in that they are not based on any vision I had.
Rather, they represent a style I experiment with, of filling in the visual field with swirls and splotches of bright color, then finding faces in the jagged edges of the splotches and bringing them out with additional paint.  As such, abstract and naturalistic-looking creatures and spirits emerge.  Enjoy.

Practice Oil Painting

 
Trying to get familiar with oil paints as a medium, this scrapey design emerged.
