Description
Yellow is good.So are Boards of Canada.
And graffiti, that's good too.
I think Steve would agree, no?
(Thanks for the painting my friend! What a fantastic gift. Please visit his lovely gallery at ~TurquoiseHexagonSun )

i like this, nice bright warm colours as you say.
its funny, when i first saw this it reminded me of classical caligraphy patterns where they do all swirly designs (like those towards the bottom of the canvas)... dont know the official name for it- like on stylised letter borders etc... the orangey colours remind me of parchment...
typically these designs were geometrically perfect and often symettrical- ur work is not so, but thats what makes it kinda cool, like its a connection between two very different worlds... classical perfection and rough as guts graffiti shown through paint dripping etc etc etc (sorry for the pun).
if i were to fault it; the colours are a little to heavily contrasted, isolating colours from each other (such as the orange ball), but thats only me because i want it to look more classical. .. and its worth it for the awesome bright colours any way.
hope that helps you... sorry if im drawing too much from it, but thats what i saw- anyone else agree?

Powerful and beautiful

Sometimes I feel I'm better at turning photos into abstract painting look-a-likes, then actual abstract painting itself!
Glad you like it

The colouring and composition rocks!
know what, reminds me of the beatles... yellow submarine for some reason.
I think its possibly the dribbles from the black spray i love the most.
Hope your doing ok just now.
