new paintings

--Hi David,

   Thank you for sharing. I think your paintings are beautiful, I love the variety of perspective that you bring. Your technique is developed, and i can really allow my mind to fall into the images; I would love to see them in person. How big are they? 

    As I ask myself when I am painting on canvases,  "I wonder what I will do with these beauties?" Is there anyway that they can add to the greater good, either by message or by utility? I wonder if I am alone in this questioning of art's usefulness? 

I would love to hear what anyone has to say on that in a related thread.

Nice work, Kam

Maybe in the second one, in the top left corner, where there is a section of just tonal variation, if you added some contrast, and possibly like cerulean or naples yellow, or maybe naples and some non-earth red, vermillion maybe? probably not  - but some red, with naples and white.  Or cerulean.  I don't know.  Color, I mean - so it comes forward and there is a kind of dynamic pull between the bottom of the painting, which comes forward, by way of proximity (and technique obviously) - and another part, so that the eye is not just drawn to rest as it would in nature.

Except then I guess you'd have to do something to the top edge in the middle of the right half of it - ish , like some mark bringing the eye back into the piece.

Tracing paper is really useful, if you fear destroying a piece, but want to experiment
