Abstract art painting in process

well I'm back again, "Eectricity" turned into "Memories of Venice" a hazy watery reflection of arched bridges, rivers, Gondolas ,flags, and people milling about. Reflective iridescent blue red and gold highlights give this painting a far deeper colour than can be seen from a photograph. Funny how things never quite turn out as they start.

The second painting below has not changed that much , more layers of clours and iridescent highlights built over texture. There are also gold highlights small kids are blurred together , as they run up and down slides and ladders, balance on monkey bars, and play in the water pools. A nostaligic glimpse of a childhood memory.

Some more new ones coming uo tomorrow. At the momment I am working on a painting to submit to the Sue Ryder Art for Liberation competition link here

An artshow for a very good cause. Will post it up Mon , that's when it will need to be finished, it is a little bit of a departure from the pure abstract expressionist stuff , still abstract and a bit of a favourite of mine.

Abstract art in the making

This is "Electricity" a mixture of blues, yellow, white. Unfortunately I ran out of white so this is on hold till my paint delivery comes. The idea is to create a neon light scene , as if looking at a cityscape in the dark, with twinkling lights..... well that is the plan but who knows when I get started.
This is another one of my new paintings "Playground" full of slides, waterpools , climbing frames. Not quite finished yet.This week I have had a dreadful cold , so i have not been able to paint much just curl up on my settee with a quilt feeling sorry for myself!!!!
Hopefully i will be back on track in the next week or so.
