This piece reflects upon the nature of image reversal and the constructive effects that it can have. By running a solid dark blue line down the exact center of the canvas, the left and right halves each become independent entities and complete works in their own regards. When bringing either side's mirror image into the picture, a larger world is constructed as a street corner and intersection are formed seamlessly. Angularity is essential to the piece with regard to perception of perspective.









What started out innocuously enough as a rendition of children's crayons gave way to the ironic symbolism of Blackout. In a typical blackout, the blackness envelops a world of color, thus blacking it out. However, in this digital painting, we can see that the colors are clearly unifying against the blackness (or black crayon as the case may be), and leaving it out of the polychromatic unification. This piece further familiarizes children with the various colors of the spectrum which they encounter daily, including standards and more unusual hybrids such as blue-green.









Submitting to the purity of the geometric form, this piece represents a look backward into an ever-evolving technological age. This disk present in this digital painting is indeed the variety of 5" floppy disk which was used to store information digitally from personal computers. It had been relegated to the backwaters of data storage following the advent of the popular 3" diskette which succeeded it, and the new format won widespread favor due to its increased storage capacity, compact size, and overwrite protection capability. Although still in use by some, the 5" floppy disk has largely fallen into the company of the 8-track audio cassette and the rotary telephone. They are true advances of times gone by, and through Floppy Disk, we may remember them.









Minimalism of form brings Coffee Or Tea to the table (so to speak), and ponders a question which allows for viewer interpretation. Line curvature was the key element of this piece, with color following close behind. Pure white was filtered through fine grains of yellow to arrive at a custom-made cream color suitable for representing a morning beverage such as coffee or tea.









This piece depicts the soothing calm and soft intrigue of a quiet art gallery. Just as the familiar artwork on the left wall symbolizes something that we have created, so does the other painting (which is just out of our field of vision) symbolize the notion that what's around the corner may be of our creation as well. In a nutshell, what lies ahead for us is often what we make of it. It was a great deal of fun to create this piece as it afforded me the opportunity to relive the magic of Winter by literally recreating it all over again.









Here we see a glimpse of night, viewed at a distance, perhaps telescopically. This piece conveys the serene still of a moonlit country evening as a home's occupant gazes out at the scenic nearby riverside and bridge crossing, possibly in anticipation of a visitor's imminent arrival or simply to marvel at nature's miracles. Line curvature was a key component in constructing this piece, as was the careful placement of individual pixels to create more complex forms.









This piece employs a duality found inherently in the natural world, be it the contrast between day and night, man and woman, or white and black as the case may be. Positive and negative space are intertwined against themselves to create a whole, mirroring the philosophy of the Chinese yin and yang forces of active vs. passive, masculine vs. feminine. Line curvature was essential in creating a delicate nexus between opposite yet complimentary forms.
