I have been working to evoke elements of a city, focusing on rectangular forms, bright colors, and something of a three dimensional presentation.
Acrylic applied with a palette knife.

Prismatic 1
This is was originally an experimental piece, but I liked how the colors blended as well as the texture and loose geometric patterns. Acrylic on acrylic paper.
Prints, etc. here
Emergence 3
I created this piece by laying down a thick layer of gesso in which I made patterns, textures, and various lines before it dried. Once it dried, I put down the pigment using thinned acrylics. The black ink strokes went on last while the acrylic layer was still a bit damp.

Texture of Colors
I have been experimenting with color blending and smaller strokes lately. This piece turned out very much as a pattern, but color densities change from place to place. Still working on controlling that process to create more intentional effects. Acrylic on heavy stock paper.

Consider the Void
This piece suggests the unknown: perhaps an inner space or another world. Watercolor washes and ink on mixmedia stock.
Available as a canvas or metallic print.
Extract 4
Ink and watercolor on scuffed and scored gesso. The aim of this image was to create something of a third dimension to the colors and ink and how they interact on the surface.
Metallic and canvas prints, etc. at FAA.
Ice Textures
This is not a photo of ice, but the textures, cool colors and other effects give it an icy feel.
Ink and ink washes on a thick layer of gesso scored and scuffed.

Elemental 5
Layered acrylic washes and ink on watercolor paper. For this piece, I first put down some light acrylic washes and arcs using acrylic ink. On top of these, I then layered more opaque colors and a few splatters.
Prints, etc. here.
Projection 7
Ink and watercolor washes plus some graphite pencil work on paper. As I have mentioned before, the process of creating these pieces is often driven by how the water, ink, and color react to each other. And the result is open to the interpretation of the viewer. Is it a map, a microscopic landscape of some sort, or something else?
See it with the other Projection pieces here.
Projection 2
Ink, watercolor, and water-soluble graphite on paper. Water washes and runs were used to create the overall effect.
Canvas, metal, and paper prints available. Entire series of 4 here.
