18x24 acrylic on canvas.
Art Therapy is just what I need between a bout of insomnia and the state of the world.
An 18x24 abstract painting on canvas with a heavy vertical gradient. The top third is composed of crusted, fiery textures in burnt orange, deep red, and gold, created with cellular oil patterns. The middle section transitions into mossy greens and dark teals. The bottom third features deep, abyssal blues and blacks, interrupted by bright, energetic white and silver-blue washes that resemble rushing water or foaming waves. The overall texture is complex and geologic, suggesting a collision of fire and water.

This painting is brought to you by another sleepless night.

18x24 acrylic on canvas
An 18x24 abstract acrylic painting on canvas featuring a heavy diagonal movement. A deep, atmospheric background of navy and teal blends into a dark, charcoal void. Cutting across the center is a thick, textured vein of metallic gold and ochre, created with heavy gel to provide physical topography. Overlapping the gold is a sharp, gestural streak of bright titanium white that mimics a lightning strike or a glint of light on raw mineral. The bottom right features a misty white splash, balancing the high-contrast peaks of the textured center."

Holding Space - acrylic on canvas
18x 24
An abstract painting titled "Holding Space" featuring a landscape orientation dominated by a central, glowing pillar of light. The composition is grounded by a heavy, vibrant orange and golden-yellow cluster at the bottom center, which suggests a "stretching spirit". From this base, a soft, vertical beam of pink and purple light rises upward, cutting through a misty atmosphere of various blue tones. The left side of the painting is textured with deep navy and cerulean "cell-like" patterns that resemble churning water or dark clouds. The right side is more ethereal and open, with pale, hazy blues. The top edge is crowned with golden, cloud-like textures. The entire artwork is presented within a black stained wooden floating frame, which provides a high-contrast border and emphasizes the internal luminosity of the piece.

The overall mood is hushed, tactile, and introspective ALT text provided by Gemini AI

Genesis
18x24 mixed media on Canvas
A framed abstract mixed-media painting featuring a textured, atmospheric landscape. A black frame surrounds a canvas dominated by soft peach, dusty rose, and muted teal washes that suggest a cosmic mist.

Adding layers and scraping them away reveals fragments of a memory

In the Midst of the Ask - A Moment of Prayer
An 18x24 inch abstract expressionist painting titled "In the Midst of the Ask - A Moment of Prayer." The upper two-thirds are dominated by turbulent, sweeping brushstrokes of deep brown, muted burgundy, and bright cerulean blue, suggesting an intense, stormy sky or atmospheric event. A large, rhythmic arching movement of blue and white dominates the center, giving the impression of wind, energy, or a massive, active cloud formation. The bottom third of the canvas provides a stable foreground of rough, horizontal texture in earthy ochres, greens, and pale yellow, suggesting dry, grounded terrain beneath the dynamic sky. The overall mood is one of powerful spiritual tension and connection between the turbulent atmosphere and the still ground.

An experiment!

24x36 acrylic, water, and oil.

The oil and water mix caused the paint to settle into a stunning pattern (to me).

Playing with paint is my favourite activity
24x36 abstract with a blue background and a gold overly over the top half and a black overlay over the whole lot. Liberally sprayed with water and oil. Once dry, the colours moved and shifted settling into its space.

The bottom two-thirds features intense, chaotic swirls of cobalt blue, teal, magenta, and white, suggesting turbulent water or a volatile atmosphere. The top third is composed of heavy, dense masses of black and metallic gold, which appear to be storm clouds, floating structures, or a heavy canopy.

10x20 acrylic landscape

A dear family member passed away this week. As I painted through my emotions, layers and layers of paint, this scene came to the forefront. A moment in time, echoes of memories, and the stillness of the moment.
Abstract acrylic landscape painting, horizontally oriented. A distinct horizon line separates a vivid, dramatic sky from a reflective water-like surface. The sky is dominated by glowing ochre, sienna, and gold clouds, contrasting with patches of deep indigo and atmospheric turquoise. A large, sloping landmass rendered in warm earth tones anchors the left side of the composition.
