Description Definitely something very different for me.  I've been inspired by the works of Kevin Sonmor so that was the start of this painting, but as with most of my work it took on a life of its own.

efficient play with cold and warm colors - there´s also some conversation between abstract expressionism and decorative art i notice . Fine work

Fast-tracking this one for inclusion to 444. Also, you might enjoy the work of Katy Moran.

Love it! I'm envious - this work has a freedom and conveys  a sense of intuitive confidence like you would find when one lets go and finds that magical balance between trusting their subconscious and a delicate imposition of Will. That is essentially the point. 

You've genuinely worked color and composition and chaos into an insightful and balanced  work. I think your title is a little gauche - or maybe it's just culinary.


Well this isn't so much a critique as a long winded ramble. Trust your instincts and keep going down this path. Not every trail will lead to an interesting outcome but you'll find interesting things along the way.

Thanks, this was an incredible ride to paint. There was a point in the process where, after two hours of painting and layer, I scraped up everything that I did out of shear hatred of the piece.  The result was most excellent as it freed me a lot creatively and produced some interesting colors and textures.

Yeah, the title really isn't my favorite and I was reaching quite a bit with it. I may change it down the line.

Thanks for taking the time to ramble.
