Mountain High, 2025, Oil on 18x18" linen panel unfolds as a soaring interplay of angles and vibrant hues. Swaths of red, purple, and blue collide with yellow and green, while sharp lines carve ridges and valleys. Oil textures catch light
unexpectedly, creating depth and a tactile sense of ascent.

Abstract oil painting with bold geometric shapes intersecting across the composition. Rich reds, purples, blues, yellows, and greens create dynamic color relationships through overlapping triangles and angular forms. Visible brushwork adds texture throughout. The upward-reaching composition suggests ascent or elevation. 18x18 inches, oil on linen board.

My quest to merge colorfield, impressionism and natural abstraction continues. Oil painting has taken over my life. And I love it.

An abstract landscape of a valley filled with mist and flowing color, where vivid brushstrokes of orange, teal, pink, and blue sweep across hills beneath a glowing sky.

Week in review of works on paper.

My own blend of modernism, surrealist automatism, and colorfield. All works are available.

Getting ready for some larger canvases.

This substantial vertical abstract painting showcases the Color Field style, with expansive, flat areas of color defining its presence. The painting is primarily structured by a few distinct, soft-edged color zones.
A vibrant, slender vertical band of bright yellow anchors the left side of the canvas. This yellow abuts a vast, dominant field of deep, atmospheric blue-green (perhaps a muted teal or dark cyan) that occupies the majority of the upper two-thirds of the composition. Within this dark area, there are subtle tonal shifts and a translucent quality, characteristic of stain painting.
The lower portion of the artwork features a horizontal band of warm, light tan or beige, followed by a prominent strip of soft off-white or cream that grounds the entire piece along its bottom edge. The boundaries between these large color blocks are fluid and organic, contributing to the painting's serene yet impactful feel. The signature in the upper right, if indeed legible, suggests the artist is Helen Frankenthaler, a pioneer of the Color Field movement and stain painting.

An abstract, palette-knife painting: two horizontal color fields meet across the center like a glowing horizon, with chalky, handwriting-like scumbles. Teal and deep blue sink downward; coral, pink, and white flare across the middle, echoing in a mirrored band below.
