Working with a very limited palette (red, yellow, B&W) might feel restrictive but I find it freeing
These are multi-layered works, with a rich 'history' to be discovered.
Which do you prefer?

3 panels I've been working on. They each 'stand alone' but they also flow one on to the next

These are the last works of 2022, let's see what ideas 2023 brings!

Work in progress - I'm enjoying working with a subtle background offset by strongly contrasting shapes, to create a dynamic abstract painting.
More work to be done on this, but it's a good start!

My 1st foray into abstraction is all about playing with colours and mark-making, using lots of layering.⁠

"Heartening"⁠
Looking down into a barrel sponge, naturally forming a heart shape.⁠
With brushes loaded with paint, swirled for those flowing shapes, here's that 'heartening' sponge. ⁠

"Straying"
Ah, it's done! I've just finished this painting - a few final touches today
As it developed the purple blues gradually engulfed the orangey reds, which now sing out in contrast.

"Shifting"
Acrylic on canvas, 20x20 inches

It's based on the Barrel Sponge from my previous 2 paintings. Drawing shapes I liked with fluid paint , it developed into this!
