A diversion from my usual style...

Today I did another flock of wild geese, to take a break from figuration...

... and focus solely on paint application. Any positive developments on that side will be fed back to my usual subject matter, the human face...

Last aquatic painting...

Capitalizing on a rainy day, I pushed my last painting to completion after many weeks of absence from painting...

For my next projects, I would like to take a break from my usual subjects and create some works on flocks of birds, a series I started a few years back. The idea is to leverage the abstract patterns of birds in motion...

My art is in limbo this summer! The construction worker is eclipsing the artist!

Revamping our balcony over the last 2-3 months has taken a toll on my art...

 Hopefully, I'll get back on track in August. This is a second pass on my painting in progress as of 3 weeks ago:

An upcoming exhibition in October will most probably create the incentive I need to start wotking again...

Back to some form of painting... after major landscaping projects around the house!

Capitalizing on the crummy weather today, I initiated another underwater painting...

I'm still going for that tri-dimensional look with this one...

Whirlpool painting III... trying to find out if less is more!

Over the last few weeks, I have worked on another painting for this series...

It started off as an anemic start on a junk piece of canvas, and evolved into something more serious. Previous paintings had profuse amounts of textural effects, so may be there's more power in restraint!

Whirlpool II final... A mix bag of collage and pouring!

I completed the previous painting by re-introducing pouring in my bag of tricks, a technique that I used a few times in the past. I figure nothing beats watery paint... to depict water!

I kinda like the results! Over the last few months, I have focused on a few techniques that I like best and have reintroduced water ( I used to paint seascapes) along with my usual subjects (faces and bodies). I find this new approach quite stimulating!

Whirlpool II - step one... Another shot at a submerged face!

Despite being bogged down by a few house renovation projects, I took the time to initiate a companion painting to my previous to last painting...

A few more passes should make this water pool more convincing...
