A section of a painting I've been struggling with for a few weeks now. I changed the ratio of dark and light areas which has set me off again.

Section of another hand movement painting I've been working on this past while. There's a struggle and a satisfaction with the actions, consideration and reactions involved in painting these. #abstractart #oilpainting #Irishart #Irishartists #cultureneedsdiversity #drawing #art #respectingdiversity

A section of a painting I've been working on this past week that I'll need to let rest. It's another from my hand movement series under the title 'Respecting diversity, protecting diversity'. #abstractart #oilpainting #Irishart #Irishartists #cultureneedsdiversity #drawing #art #respectingdiversity
