All of my abstract art pieces start with a vague idea or concept.  I try to imagine an emotion, a feeling, or an experience.

I then choose colours that I feel fit in with that idea.

My first step in the painting is to make a few bold marks on the canvas.

I don't use pencil to draw out my design, as I don't want to be able to erase those initial marks.

I then start blending, refining details, and adding more colour as I go along.

I let the painting evolve organically, whilst still remaining true to the initial idea.

I enjoy my abstract paintings probably more than any of the other styles of painting I do.  I think this is because, although I try to maintain a structure to them, there is no pressure to get a 'likeness' to an actual real life object.

This means they can flow and develop much more naturally.

Some of these pieces are featured in my book: Connecting to My Spirit: A Journey in Art and Poetry, with more insight into how and why each one was created, and what they represent.  Please check out  my Homepage  for a link to this book on Amazon.
