Winter Vista

Winter Vista - In this abstraction, the black on light effect suggests a winter scene to me.  The orange accent (which could be a barn) was added to provide a sharp focus.

Meanders

Meanders -This abstract was inspired by the late fall color of Illinois.  The miandering stream emerges from the treeline and defies the strict limits of  the cultivated fields on either side. 

Shapes at Sunset

Shapes at Sunset - The different pieces of collage with their southwestern shapes contrast with the smooth background like a puzzle on a tablecloth.  The collage ridges running in different directions together with a color shift give a sense of distance at evening's onset.

Pinwheel

Pinwheel --I used bright colors to give this a gay, springlike effect.  The black lines were originally splashed in to provide a sense of motion but I think they succeed more as an accent.
