A little of this, a little of that...

All of these are oil on gessoed panel. The first is of my wife, 8 x 10", the second is 18 x 24" (for those afflicted by golf, it's that time of year) and the last two are small 8 x 10"s of my kids at the shore (i had x posted these latter two recently in oil forum). I know i am all over the map here and feeling a bit rudderless (or rather free, depending on ones perspective). Any comments very appreciated. --Aurelio

What a wide range of paintings- in colour, format, style and subject. I love the rich colours, especially.
You are certainly versatile!

Wonderful colors and use of brush strokes.

Good stuff, all of them. I do love the first one, very interesting palette and atmosphere to it. The negative space is so beautifully used there.

I am impressed by all of them. The golf one is particularly fascinating--one could spend a long time looking at it--so much to see. BTW--sorry to hear about the golfing affliction. I wish you a speedy recovery. It is a terrible illness--a good walk, ruined, indeed!

Interesting paintings, I particularly like the second. The last one I find powerful but maybe for the wrong reasons: the strokes towards the centre seem really ominous to me foretelling something to come. Maybe it is watching too many horror films.

Thank you all for your encouraging remarks and thoughts about these. Apart from other reasons for preference, I think the 2nd and 3rd might appeal a bit more for the harmonic effect of the strongly orange-toned panels which (under)cover a multitude of sins Thank you again! --Aurelio
