This painting depicts an array of emotions, and I displayed this by incorporating different colors of lines to represent each emotion, overlapping to create organized disorganization.

The vibrant colors and various brush strokes creates a stimulating mood, which inspired the name "Exhilarating".

The bright colors and black brush strokes are displayed in a layered fashion, which at the same time create directional lines throughout the composition.

This painting depicts a range of dripped paint and brush strokes to create a chaotic composition. I wanted this painting to be busy, but yet maintaining a balance of repetition in color. The various colors and techniques create a live energy while the colors unify the painting.

For this painting, I began with a yellow wash for the background to cover any white surfaces of the canvas that may peek through. Afterwards, I began adding layers of colors on top of one another using a palette knife.

For this painting I wanted to create a soft transition of colors, where the warm colors and cool colors started on opposite ends of the canvas and gradually collided in the center of the composition creating unity.

For this painting, I used yellow, red, black, and white to create a bold strong energy in the painting. When applying the colors, I used continuous long brush strokes from the top to the bottom of the canvas but experimented with a variety of heights to create variety, movement, and balance. I also blended these colors together so that it would create a smooth gradient texture.

For this painting, I used short brush strokes with pastel colors. When applying the paint, I used a criss cross method when layering the colors on top of one another. The colors reminded me of a sweet pastry. Yumm!

In this painting, I wanted to depict power by incorporating bold black and blue, followed by touches of red and yellow. The painting depicts the blue gradually taking over the dominance of the bold black color. 

The warm monochromatic color scheme of warm yellows, reds, and oranges in this composition brings the feeling of passion and warm energy.

This painting shows the bold black colors, gradually moving and taking dominance over the lime green in the composition. 

The bright, bold, energetic yellow inspired the name "Enlightenment". The burst of bright color creates such a positive vibe of rejuvenating energy, followed by the bold splashes of orange, black, and white.

The idea for this painting, was a more modern approach filled with uncontrolled paint splatters and colors. The use and application of the colors inspired the idea of "unhinged", meaning mentally deranged or disturbed. The beautiful thing about this is that even though the splatters are uncontrolled, the repetition of color and texture creates a unified composition.

This painting was actually inspired by my own thoughts and emotions which at the time was confusion. So, I wanted to portray those emotions in this painting through differentiation of techniques and direction. In the background, I began painting solid colors to represent the organized composure on the outside and on the top I splashed black paint to represent the confusion and chaos on the inside.

This painting was an experiment with colors and direction. The simple rainbow of layered colors inspired this title.
