Hi! I just wanted to let you know that the 48"x48" painting I was telling you about called Pieces of Light is now for sale on UGallery. You can find it on my profile page. Thanks for looking!

Thank you! I'm so glad you like those pieces. I actually just completed a larger painting similar to Ascent and Silent Radiance. My new one is called Pieces of Light. It's 48" x 48". I also do custom oil paintings, so I can create a custom piece to your exact size. Just click the "commissions" button on my UGallery portfolio. Thanks!

I find ascent and silent radiance very interesting. Do you happen to have anything similar, but much larger? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! I'm glad you like it.

I see penguins. Now geese. Flying away.

Is it Modern Art? Abstract Art? Contemporary Art? The lines between different art movements get blurry around the edges. The definitions of modern art, abstract art and contemporary art can sometimes be a little confusing. Technically, an "abstract" oil painting has no representational elements. It's not a picture of any "thing" you can pick out. Still, it's hard to look at a good painting and not see something in it. The real question is: when you look at a painting, how do you feel? That's how you find a painting you love.

Thank you so much! I'm so thrilled you like it!

We love it! It catches the eye even before you enter room and creates a great atmosphere.

I'm so excited to be featured in Professional Artist Magazine! I'm appearing in the February 2012 issue. It's such a huge honor, since I've read Professional Artist Magazine (formerly Art Calendar) for years. And now I'm in the Artist Spotlight section. The article features two of my paintings, along with my thoughts about how any artist can creatively grow by experimenting with painting abstracts. I also talk about what inspires my art and the things that drew me to paint abstracts in the first place. I'm so excited and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing magazine!

Abstract art ideas for your home Don't make the mistake of trying to find a piece of art that exactly matches the colors of your room. Because the paint will never match your room's colors precisely, you might end up with something that looks a little bit off. Instead, shop for a piece that's boldly different. Look for an original oil painting that stands out and really makes your decor come alive.
