Rich saturated blues dominate this abstract piece. In the center left of the piece there are yellow, red and gray/green sections that suggest an object. Elsewhere the blue and black lines are looser, chaotic.

Influences I see in this one are Mark Di Suvero and Edward Ruscha.

portrait oriented abstract piece with red, purple, blue, orange and white. There is a round orange circle on lower right. Blue and red strokes suggest an underlying strucure; white splatters suggests movement and problematizes the structure.

Thick and thin black lines on deep orange background. The thick black line circles outward from the middle. Thinner black lines, dots and arrows swim in the space in-between. Two black circles are filled in with solid colors, one green, the other red.

This has both movement and stillness. Everything is in its place except when it is not. And those places are so interesting to me. Like here:

Glad you used a 3M respirator; I use one as well. My question more clearly: did you put something down to block the spray from hitting everywhere? Like tape, or a piece of wood, metal etc to create those straight edges?

This reminds me of a theme in a subset of Jasper Johns' work. This piece featured on your web site even more.
Jasper Johns, Usuyuki, 1982. Encaustic on canvas (three panels), 71 × 113 3/4 in. (180.3 × 288.9 cm) overall. Sezon Museum of Modern Art, Nagano, Japan.© 2021 Jasper Johns/VAGA at Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.

I love the color pallet of this piece. Also, I like the exploration of circles. With the white connecting to the circles it reminds me of these big lollipops.

How would you feel if this painting was hung in landscape. Is your signature already on it? Is it for sale?

Last week I was at The Broad in LA and they had a couple of Jasper Johns' pieces including "Untitled" from 1975 which is one where he plays with colorful straight lines. Your piece reminded me of his, though they are very different. I like yours more!

I particularly like this part. That orange is like a flame, heating up the rest of the piece.
