Two Swans A-Swimming



This swans image really got to me.  There is a lot of imagery involved.  The original came from a photo of the two swans, making a heart with their long necks.  In this one, I decided to make it more abstract, using wet paint techniques, like dripping. And, the reflections in the water added more interest.

Kinda turned out neat, I think.

Red Flower Abstract


Every once in a while, I get an urge to do something more abstract than my usual "literal" pieces.  I saw a similar image to this online and decided to use it as inspiration.  So, it has detailed red flowers on top of an abstract background.  I used some color masses as well as a dripping technique that I learned from Arturo in the previous "Swans" piece.

The red and green colors add to the look of this one.  Maybe I'll try a complete abstract sometime!
