The second painting from my photo shoot along the San Antonio River Walk last February. This scene is from under the VFW Boulevard bridge looking north. I have removed a few objects for a better composition.

Almost forgot to post this one. The object was to do an abstract using a diagonal scheme or an H scheme. I decided to combine them for "Red Dragon". The red in the center to me looks like a red dragon in flight. Look at it closely and see if you can see it. I tend to find patterns in abstract or random designs. Probably due to youthful searching alcohol ads for the supposed subliminal pictures.

The objective was to paint a high horizon abstract so I painted an abstract seascape. I put a ship sailing into the rising sun for a focal point. I paint a lot of orange skies.

My youngest son and I recently went along the San Antonio river on the river walk. Most people are familiar with the River Walk in downtown San Antonio, but it actually stretches along the river throughout the city and also along a few major creeks. Here we walked from Mission county park, which is about 2 miles south of downtown and down past Padre Park. I turned it into a photo shoot for painting ideas. At Padre Park there is like a little dam with a water ladder which has some nice white water falls, but this painting is of the dam just before the entrance to the water ladder. I have a thing for rocks and trees and this rock at the point of two triangles (the river and the concrete) was a natural focal point. So I doctored it up by omitting a few unnecessary objects and there you go.

Finally figured out the flow of the high flow acrylics and managed to set up this stained glass style abstract. Once I was finished I realized that it reminds of the Pirate Ship Ride or other gondola style swinging amusement park rides. The orange block is like the front as it swings across the painting.

I got some Golden high flow acrylics and have been wanting to see what they will do. This was my "experiment". I was actually trying to do a Andy Morris type of abstract but the paints are a little more watery than I expected. So, I turned into a type of acrylic pour. Anyway, the final result reminds me of a design of the booth decorations at a local Chinese restaurant, hence the name.

I decided to another abstract. Used some red, purple, white and blue. I used pallet knives to put it on the canvas then spritzed it with some water. It is almost like there is a figure of a woman on the right, but then, if I look again, I see something else.
