    Lovely images...but the top one
    struck me as problematic because
    of the large pale shape in the
    middle.

    Considering the markmaking and
    color in the rest of the image,
    that "problem" shape might be
    re-considered and adjusted.

    i actually chose that image because of the shape in the center. because the rest of the painting has so much going on, i saw it as a welcome place for the eye to rest. now that i look at it again, i see your point in it being problematic right n the center like that-a little off center to the right would be better.

    I appreciate the pale shape positioned right smack in the middle. It is a challenge and demands consideration despite all that is going on behind and around the shape. I say, Don't fear the middle!

    Now that I look at it again, the
    pale shape is redeemed a bit by
    those lines/drips of paint...

    I love the gestural drawing in your compositions.
    Lines, shapes, textures and colors participate in a wild dance.
