Two Paintings

Title: Ghost
Oil Painting on 12 by 12 inch panel
August 2025

 

Title: Vortex
Oil Painting on 12 by 12 inch panel
August 2025


Notes

Color or no color?  

Both seem to work.  

Usually, abstraction has some roots in reality.

The cat like form is obvious.

The monochrome is not quite a wave.......a visual riddle?

Musing on Directions

 These paintings are examples of the effects popping up in my work.

1.    These are are all suggestions of form.
2.    Pallet is limited.  Colors results from mixing.
3.    The paintings are fast, for oils.
4.    Figurative work is new ground for me.
5.    I need to paint more cats to improve.

Personal Notes
The one's where a single color dominates appear to have more presence.

Figures appear to add something to landscapes that make them relatable.

9 by 12 inch paper is a good size for most days.  I wonder if a larger canvas would reveal more mysteries while painting.
