This Abstract Art Gallery has works that are a visual communication to the viewer of events that have happened or are continuing to occur. These abstract paintings are representations that have thought provoking or abstract thinking concepts and have been an excellent way of communicating my thoughts. I'm trying to get you to feel the mood I was in when I painted them. I've moved to Tucson, Arizona and have been very inspired here.

The ideas come easily and flow right out of my hand for these abstract paintings. These works are revealed to me often in the early morning during a dream state and I will wake up and start right away on the piece. An excellent example of this experience would be with the painting I've titled 4 Spheres. I had painted the red, orange and brown background and had polished the oil paint creating a reflective surface and then just stared at it for 6 months. Finally I put it out of my site. I woke up at 3:00 AM with a vision of what this piece was and completed the piece that day.

This Abstract paintings gallery has grown fast over the years. The bright colors and fluid motions of these abstract oil paintings have a striking appeal to viewers. Each painting tells a story and I've included written inspirations for each piece.

New! I've added a comment box for each painting and I welcome your thoughts, critiques, expressions and comments.
