The series Views From Above has allowed me some marvelous freedom to explore abstraction within a specific set of criteria. The VFA-Composition sub- series has been developing since 2014. They still are relating to the flow and patterns from my memories of a hot air balloon ride I took in rural France (1990's) but I'm pushing it more into design and color. Textures are very much a part of this work.
OIL PAINTING with Red 1.5 inch edge. Can hang as is.

In the 1990’s I took a hot air balloon trip which has been pivotal to my grow as an abstract painter. The patterns, shapes and textures along with varied perspectives have been giving me an unlimited source of inspiration to “play” with. This big painting in a little format(size) was painted as part of a series, aside from the composition I was working with teal and purple tones along with earth tones. Oil on canvas, 1/2 deep edge painted black, wired ready to hang,
