Original artwork description:

"Uptown Blues" is a captivating abstract artwork that unfolds like a rhythmic jazz composition on canvas. Dominated by various shades of blue, ranging from deep Phthalo Blue to serene teal, with accents of gold, yellow, black, and coral, the painting exudes a sense of depth and mystery. The overall composition of "Uptown Blues" is balanced yet spontaneous, with sweeping brushstrokes and intricate details that draw the viewer in. It evokes a sense of urban sophistication and intrigue, revealing depth and layers of lines, shapes and mark-making.

My technique involves starting with multiple layers of paint using a variety of tools and brushes that create a wide range of shapes, forms and lines. Upon starting, I paint intuitively and quickly. Nearing the end, everything slows down and I begin the process of discernment, carefully analyzing changes in value and composition until I am happy with the final painting.
