#organicabstraction#contemporaryabstraction#smallartworks#worksonpaper#canadianpainters Sprout. 

The ground of this older painting got used for these new sprout studies. Paintings over paintings often vibe well. 

#organicabstraction #paintingoverpaintings #contemporaryabstraction A few more “things”. 

Watercolour & acrylic on paper. 

I’ve been working through a few ideas and things seem to be converging instead of diverging lately.
So more to come.

#organicabstraction #purplething #paintingsketchbook #worksonpaper #artonpaper A few recent pages of paintings - continuing to work on a few different avenues. 

#smallpaintings#organicabstraction#smallabstractpaintings#worksonpaper#montrealart Wait your turn. 

Painting on hardboard, 28 x 23 cm.

DM for inquiries Purple Misty Step.

Small painting on board (acrylic), 28 x 23 cm.

I am enjoying working on these thick hardboard panels. The many layers of quality gesso make for great underlying texture.
