I have just finished a painting which I have titled Discarded. This painting was a lot of fun as I am now exploring different shapes, and for this one I used stars to make up the pattern.

Pinterest for fun and promoting contemporary artwork
March 21st, 2012
I have just joined Pinterest and have been having fun posting my artwork and other peoples art and photos. I was surprised to see that a great many of my friends and colleagues were already on the website. Be sure to check out my pin boards and have fun re-pinning and surfing. I hope this will also turn out to be a good tool for promoting my artwork.
On a side note, you will notice a new icon on the right hand of my page for Pinterest, this icon and link is a wordpress widget named social profiles and did not contain Pinterest. Thanks to my web development experience I was able to fully modify it and add Pinterest, yaaa me!
Yellow contemporary painting in progress
February 29th, 2012
Been working on a new abstract contemporary painting which has been a vision of mine for awhile. I am getting my gradients to be much smoother, you almost can’t tell that this painting is 27 shades radiating out in pixelated squares.
I will be adding an overlay of circles, one inside each square. This will be in the same style of the Orange on Blue Chrome paintings.
