I do not know how many drawings or paintings I have completed in my lifetime - several hundred, I suppose. Many of my paintings are "out there - somewhere - in the Universe". There are times I would like to know where some of them "walked off" (another blog idea to share). My style is "No Style". Deciding what I want to paint depends "upon my mood" - self-indulgent, maybe, but it's how I approach art. It's one place where I find freedom - freedom "to just be".
I believe many of my paintings are classified as
"Abstract Expressionism". These paintings are usually 16" x 20", acrylic or gesso and India ink. I work quickly and let the materials and a deeper place in my mind "take over". Sometimes the painting evolves into a "theme" or "idea" midway in the process. I often take heed of the "suggestion" of a theme or repeated pattern. I like selling these abstracts unframed for "hardly anything" - usually $20 to people who visit my studio during an art walk.

"Paris Street" is in my own personal collection and isn't for sale. I painted it "back in the 70's" using a Chinese brush with black ink for the lines and acrylic watercolors for the color. I like to paint "childlike" buildings.
