For some reason, I really enjoy the concept of fluid lines of color flowing over and connecting different textures. It's quite an enjoyable challenge.

Acrylic on 7 sheets of various hand made paper mounted on canvas.

The original 16x20 is for sale. The edges have been painted so a frame is not neccessary.

Yes it is soothing. The color set is very classical.

this is really very nice- in fact i like both of your "Abstract" pieces- you did a great job breaking up the colors & shapes & keeping the movement (and therefore our eyes as well) flowing- in & out, over & under-nice, smooth transitions around the entire piece...the only thing that blocks that flow is the sudden stops between textures- (for instance- if you follow along the long, most prominent, red curve- it starts almost at the top of the painting & curves all the way down to the bottom- you have at least 2 sudden changes in texture.... same thing happens with the grey teardrop-like shape at the top of the painting, although, being that it is a smaller,less vibrantly colored shape, it is not as dramatically noticeable as the red curve).

The solution would be to let the individual shapes dictate the contours of the varying textures, and the sizes of these shapes, their colors, etc dictate which texture would fit most effectively with it- in other words, each shape is a different texture- as opposed to just putting blocks of texture on the canvas, you would cut the texture to fit the individual shapes.

Because vibrant red is the most noticable color to our eyes, the red curve, alog w/the other red shapes, would look great filled with a texture that is rough or very grainy, while smoother textures that are more plain would be good for the grey shapes- in effect pulling them back & allowing the brighter shapes to jump forward(or you could even play around with that idea & do the opposite & see what kind of effect it creates).

Regardless, it is still a great painting, and the texture thing is only a small thing that i noticed. And by the way, i love your gallery, though i'm not finshed yet going through it all- i think you have beautiful talent:aww:

Thank you! I handmade all the paper myself, so it probablky has more significance to me than to the viewer. I appreciate your comment!
