What I love about abstract art is that it is a mental workout for your brain. Since the painting is an abstraction, your brain has to work hard to figure out what it is seeing. Each time you look at the painting you find new images hidden within it. That's what keeps it interesting and fresh. Everyone sees different things. Take a look at my painting called Arabian Night and see how many animal shapes you can find.

Many of the names for my paintings are the result of images I see in them or feelings that they evoke.  One of my followers actually named my painting called Phoenix Rising. When she looked at it, her eye saw a Phoenix, hence the name. I was thinking of naming it Rising Sun, but the name she suggested was perfect. It captured the essence of the painting. The Phoenix is symbolic of renewal and hope for a better and brighter future. 

As you look through my work , I would love to hear from you about what you "see" when you look at a particular painting.

Happy Viewing!
