These paintings are representational art: abstracted compositions intended to connote or depict realistic or "real life" scenes, things or events that impact me as an artist. The focus is on color, texture, contrast and line work in either an objective or subjective representational form. These abstractions are dependent on, and derivative from, visual references in the world and reflect my thoughts and mood-inducing representational interpretations of the subject matter depicted. Thanks for viewing my art!
