For the last year, I've been teaching myself to paint. I'm inspired by abstraction and bright colors.

 

Yesterday, I finished my latest piece, and I wanted to share it the you here. I trust you'll catch the reference.

That looks awesome, very geometric with those clean lines.  Well done! 

Oh wow!  I’m floored by how awesome this is!  Amazing job!

nice! your lines are crisper and much more uniform. looks like you're getting the hang of it

 

I like it James. And how very appropriate to share here.

Amazing!  That looks so cool, good job!

nice going

Very nice!

Thanks, everyone.

I love your subject matter *grins*

At first I thought this was a digital drawing, so now I'm even more impressed that you painted it!

 

You make very efficient use of your spare time haha

I think about that. If I had the software and skills to do this digitally, I could crank these out in about an hour.

 

But for now, I enjoy just putting on some mello cello and dipping the brush.

That might be so, and I do realize there is a lot of work and skills behind computer art too, but to be able to do this with a brush and canvas is amazing in my book.

That is awesome.  Great color rotation.
