Another Alma/Josef inspired piece

I enjoyed painting the previous abstract and decided to try another. This one is bigger (30 x 24) and potentially not quite finished.

Now with a comment....

So...the influence for this piece came from Alma Thomas and Josef Albers, the former for her painting style and the latter for his seminal investigations into how we see color.

Secondly the colors are off. The left side is actually a green hue and the right is a much richer and darker red. I'll for a better photo but so far I haven't pulled it off.

My previous post...

...that was a few months ago (generously defining a few) included a painting that I called, tentatively, Weeds. Since then the weeds have sprouted and there are three of them and they won't be called weeds anymore....

What they will be called is TBD. Without further ado:

Two new pieces

This will be brief. I've been working, really, just without that much success. Here are a couple that seem to work...One is an abstract, the other another abstract portrait of my son Andy.
