Large painting of arches stacked upon arches, made with mixing plaster and acrylic paint. Darker earthy colors towards the bottom, and sky blues towards the top

Small square abstract painting. Light blue smears of spackle applied in a semi uniform grid like pattern on a square wood panel painted green gold. Black glaze coats the bottom half lending darkness and weight and showing the texture of the spackle.

Irregular squares and rectangles arranged like tiles and glued to canvas. Covered with a dark blue glaze that sinks into the cracks between each shape.
