May 2007 was a productive month

During the month of May, I plunged into my work as never before. I've been exploring a number of approaches of combining colors and various media. Inspired by the recognition I received at the Guild Hall Members show, I became intrigued with the use of a bold background palette with abstract shapes representing bold contrasting colors.
As with abstract art, I apply these colors with a combination of planning and randomness. Planning in where I put he shapes -- randomness in how they are applied. Here are three examples:

Purple Sunsets

Explosion

On this canvas I added a geometric reference to my design with striking results as you can see below:
