Oil and Acrylic Abstract Paintings

Some old work, starting with three pieces I did when I studied oil painting under Dinah Cross James. Her technique involves applying thick layers of paint with a paint knife, and then scraping through multiple layers to bring out unique color blendings.
The last piece is in acrylics, just my usual abstract expression and runes.

Abstract Cartoony Vision Paintings - Acrylics on Masonite Board

 More paintings from a few years ago.
The first three are from visions I saw in my mind's eye.
The last one, just a random character doodled in a sketchbook.

Abstract Line and Color Paintings

These paintings are from a few years ago.  I am going through and cataloging all my old work.  Any piece of mine you see that you like is available for purchase.  

Vision Painting: Clash of Shaded Circles

This pattern of circles appeared within my closed eyelids.  Two sets of randomly-arrayed circles, each set colored and shaded differently.  I painted it in acrylics.  I have nothing to say about what it means.  It means nothing more than its appearance.  If it takes on a meaning for the viewer, that is about the only meaning it can have.

Abstract Color Design

This algorithm came to me as a vision, a dancing, swirling pattern of colors in my "mind's eye."  A random scribble of lines makes a framework for somewhat of a checkerboard pattern of light- and dark-themed cells.
