Thanks Ed. Great idea. Especially for paintings, adding alt text is not a chore at all and sometimes provokes a discussion about techniques etc.

Portrait-orientation abstract painting predominantly in oranges and blues, with flashes of pinks and reds, and expressive architectural hints.

Thanks! Just checked that I used it correctly -- a long time since I studied maths -- and I see that I managed to miss out an 'l' :-)

Portrait orientation abstract seascape. The composition is a loose tesselation of rectangles in mainly blue tones, with brick pink roughly triangular shapes and some thin linear marks.

A portrait orientation bi-colour (cobalt teal and naphthol red) composition representing in an abstract way a flat-topped, straight-sided mound. The painting is composed of blocks of colour in three layers, with expressionist markings within each layer, and linking the blocks, and the mound, to the earth and sky.

The tallest human-made mound in Europe, constructed over 4300 years ago, lies #abandoned and enigmatic in the #Wiltshire countryside near #Avebury:

Thanks Maddie!

A landscape format bi-colour composition made of blocks of magenta tones backed off with turquoise blocks, overlain with uniform width curvilinear quasi-parallel marks. Some blocks have small rectangular holes where the background shows through.

I do occasionally use #turquoise, here paired with #magenta for an abstract view of a bike race, probably the Giro (roll on May!):

A square format acrylic painting showing an abstracted view of lush vegetation in shades of green, mustard yellow, pale and bright pink, with a darker crimson framing. Dark green stripes and a modest amount of paint splatter add texture.

For #ArtYear and #FebruArty, painted a couple of years back to celebrate hope that goes with a change of direction in the #Amazon

Square format canvas with abstracted mountain scenery consisting of a set of ridges ending in high mountains in purple, green, yellow and pale orange. The texture is highly scarred and rough with linear marks, scrapes and scratches.

This is for #MountainMonday and possibly qualifies as pretty rough and rugged for #SensoryArt too:

Thanks Martha!

A square format canvas, placed against a fireplace for scale, made up primarily of blocks in crimson hues, with a lighter zone with olive greens and pinks in the upper right. Sparse dark sweeping arches, horizontals and verticals complete the composition.

I hope I can be forgiven this near #Monochromatic just-completed painting for #BlueSkyArtShow.

I was fortunate to see the exhibition of his works last year in Paris -- such a great show, and absolutely crowded when I was there.

Landscape-oriented abstract landscape composed of mainly solid blocks of orange-brown and grey-blue hues, with a highly-saturated deep orange block right of centre. The upper right corner is made up of various tones of blue. The white of the paper shows through at the edges of some blocks.

Thanks! Yes, totally abstract. The visual brain is a wonderful and still partly mysterious thing!

Not as difficult as it looks! The loops are all done with water (and abandon:-) applied with a dropper. The trick is to remove about 2/3 of the first layer so that some of it is still showing through by the time you get to the third layer.

Thanks Antje!

A medium-sized portrait-orientated abstract painting, displayed in a white frame atop a marble fireplace. The canvas is composed mainly of crimson, with somewhat lighter tones in the upper right, along with blocks of pale olive green. Thin dark linear marks run vertically, along with thicker more diffuse curved marks in the low third.

Unsure if this surprisingly peaceful for #crimson painting is sweet enough for #SensoryArt. This is my first medium-scale artwork of 2025 in prep for a July exhibition.
