Another set of two abstracts. 24 X 20 each. Acrylics on canvas.

Looking forward for the C & C’s

Thanks!

The splotches of colour create a wonderful soft pattern for both of these.

If I had to crit anything it would be that the second one echos the first one perhaps too much.

Chaya, these will make a beautiful pair of painting on any wall. Very nice work and the bright colors really speak volumes in the overall quiet mood of the pieces.

Katie, Thank you and agree with you completely that the second one mimics the first a lot. I will try to keep that in mind when I make the next set of twos I guess these are somewhat like identical twins ?

Anthony, Thank you so much!

They are well done. I think the texture suggests a lot of energy but the color choices restrain that energy. Interesting.

A painting is never really done as long as I can get my hands on it.

Great warm color. It reminds me of a technique I learned about years ago called tonking, where a piece of paper or a cloth is pressed against wet paint and then removed and reapplied to cause the soft blends. Sponges work too.

These pieces give me a comforted and contented feeling.

Since they are a set, similarities seem to be the right idea. I love the soft colors and can actually feel the texture just through the way the light plays across the surface. Nice job Chaya.
The first has a little bit better balance, while the second seems a little top heavy. Maybe you can add some visual balance to the second that would also serve to differentiate them more? That’s the only suggestion I can think of because these are lovely as is.

Lovely, shimmery colours!

What everyone else has said.

The essential thing, for me, is to offer a visual expression of those things in our experience that words cannot express www.jim-whalen.artistwebsites.com

Both are calming influences and agree with others remarks.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments, thoughts and suggestions! Much appreciate it!

Christopher, I used “scraping” technique here for this work. I’m attaching a closeup. I’ll have to lookup “tonking”

Somewhere I saw two paintings attached together, back to back, and hung from the ceiling. The breezes kept them gently moving.
The effect was quite interesting, giving the viewer a constant variety.

I see these done that way, rather than the usual side by side.

Like children, each one is different, but special

good Art!
