1. Start out with a pretty sweet base painting
2. Fill in the edges
3. Repeat
4. Now that’s a fine looking painting you’ve got there

Simply get carried away and add too much white and blue at once! Oh well, it’s all part of the painting process.

Next step: Resurrection. And then another ruining likely. And so on and so on…

Here are some abstract paintings that have been in progress for a while.

The one on the right is looking pretty sweet. The one on the left is still battling against a bit of ‘teh mehz’.

Added some additional differences between the middle and outer pieces. Added a weird blue deletion of the central head, ala the artwork for Iron Maiden’s “Can I Play with Madness”.

The situation becomes more complicated.

Painting progress keeps on and on. The darker pinks are influenced by looking too much at the great paintings of Philip Guston.

More progress on my five small abstracts:

I’ve added some red and some pink. Red’s a fine color.

Still trying to figure out what to do with the background.
