Ok, I am not trying to ruin your day, so dont take this personally, but I want you to see what happens, when one is justing working by intuition and no plans. BUT understand it or not, I do like it a little bit myself. :-P Made with acrylic. FULL SIZE more paint. ;-P
Have a beautiful day.
We have a lovely and sunny day and I will try to paint in my studio. The cats are more and more social, also the forest cat. He asked me to take off som furballs he has around his neck. I am not happy about it, but I got a few off. More to go. I am so afraid I will cut his skin. MAN, they are growing :)
Thank you for viewing and commenting.

I do like this, so vibrant and exciting! I can only work without a plan with any success, it all goes wrong if I think about it!

Wonderful indeed! Glad to hear the cats are still there; any chance they would allow you to brush them on a regular basis to keep the matting down?

I am trying, but they dont trust the brush yet :)

can only do a few right now, so I chose two paintings, even though you've got many wonderful photos to comment on as well. This is a bridge; but it also has the feel of a fevered late night dream, with those slabs of white and those vapor lines to set everything off. (By 'vapor lines' I mean those electrical ghosts of white, ie, those squiggly white lines you have rising from whatever they're above, in several places). The green yellow orbs in the background contrast with your blues and reds, really strongly. (Those are Van Gogh blues.) And the bridge has a muddy khaki tone to it, like it's jaundiced. I love the brush strokes---you even knifed through the paint (on the lower right) with something or other, creating a feeling of energies coursing through the piece. And you slabbed on the paint like oil in many places. It's energetic in the extreme, reminiscent of the Abstract Expressionists, with very luminous hues. And, for all its chaos, it looks like an orderly scene that was suddenly transformed by a nightmare or a drug-induced vision. I really love it. You frame it with that white border, which looks like a swath of pavement that someone drove over while the concrete was still wet. A burst of inner energies, wild and, to me, very compelling... (On "Van Gogh blues," here's an example. In fact, the painting---a famous example of his fevered side---has something in common with this, in its wild energies, strokes, etc. It's a bad jpg, but you'll see the point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starry_Night#/media/File:Van_Gogh_-Starry_Night-_Google_Art_Project.jpg)
