This has gone further than my expectations. It started off as another of my experiments (I almost never do two images in a row with the same approach). It’s similar to some ink drawings I did a while back. But I’ve surprised myself in the range of textures and forms that suggest themselves to me,…

3 Ink Drawings
What can I do with just ink? That’s a lot of what these are about. I see this as a kind of challenge, and an excellent exercise for artists however far along they are in their careers. The technique is basically to just use ink and brushes (though one could use other implements), and keep…

I just completed this image to my satisfaction. Like so many of my pieces, it started as an experiment. The idea was to make a non-representational image with all the qualities of being representational: foreground, background, modelling, and shading. There are figures, recesses, protuberances, open space, geographic and architectural elements. All the building-blocks of reality,…

Sensational Non-Representational Art
Some of the best abstract & non-representational art I’ve painstakingly scoured off of Deviantart and included in my group, the “Fine Art Asylum”. Let’s just get out of the way the difference between “abstract” and “non-representational,” which are usually used interchangeably, including by yours truly. “Abstract” is similar to “distorted”, as in an altered version…
