The Machinist

This was posted in the critique section and in the postcard trade thread, but because I am new to non-representational work,I thought I would risk getting yelled at and cross post. I want the all artists that work in this style to see and comment.

I am a representational painter. I make a good portion of my living from my work, but I have never been happy with anything I have tried like this.

So.What do you think...

I think it's a great start! Love the composition and textures

i think the strength is in its simplicity and its texture

but the simplicity doesnt hold long as a strength to me. afther 1 min i get the feeling ive seen it and understand it.
but it still remains a good painting

nice work

I love the textural rough look and the way that light area shimmers so nicely. Nice work!

I like this work very much. Good composition, light and colours and the structure of material behind the colours. Great work, what remeinds me a bit the strength of Bauhaus studies.

Well, your work certainly fits in this forum... In fact, looking at your website, almost all your work fits nicely here. Very strong abstracted work...

I can't add much more here. This has the bones of a good piece of abstract: composition, color harmony/balance plus a pleasing texture ...

Just a question... What size and medium?
