Very talented. I sure hope you're getting paid for some of these. You could have been one of Picasso's students if he was alive today. Beautiful, eye-catching.By the way, I love abstract art. I paint in my spare time, but haven't picked up a brush in over a year. Decided to get back into it during the winter season since I am not of fan of being out during the winter months. I use acrylic paints as well. I only took a fine arts clase in high school years ago, and got back into painting around 2004. Just teaching myself. Maybe one day I'll take an art class, who knows, but anyway, I love your paintings.

You are absolutely right. I normally do.
I might have posted late at night when my brain was beginning to drift. lol

This particular bunch are all "small" works but I work in almost every size. Mostly up to 30x40". Then at times (but less often) larger than that.

Good question. I'll let you know when I figure it out. lol

Just different sides of my personality, I suppose.
Different thoughts/images I just have to get from my head onto paper/canvas.

I sometimes paint work that uses vintage comic book characters too. Completely different from these two styles I'm showing here. That one is more about tongue in cheek humor tho.

Some days I wake up and I'm hyped to do a lot of abstract work.
Other days I wake up and all I want to paint is Latin Pop/subjective stuff.

What kind of sucks is when I want to paint a certain style, but have to work on the other because of a deadline. That can be a little challenging.

That probably didn't explain much, but seriously, it just kind of "comes".

Um, he needs to give you a call....

I would SO be honored!

Though I might have talked too much trash already. lol

I've contemplated the thought of doing a series of paintings (perhaps a show) of pieces inspired by some of his songs.

Prince, if you read this, I only talk trash about the ones I love. razz
