9 x 12 abstract figure painting on paper

detail of abstract figure painting by Gallery Juana


My latest painting is metallics and acrylic inks on 9x12 inch paper. Colors range from brown to grey to pink. Above is a detail of the painting and the video below shows how the colors change with the angle of light shifts and catches the metallics in the acrylic paint. 

What I like about painting abstract figures is the definition of what we see is blurred and allows the viewer to experience what they see from their own perspective and experience.



"In Euclidean rapture, every time a habit circuit breaks an angle gets its wings


When a habit circuit breaks, the mind creates a new vector for thought. Like a shift in an angle’s geometry, a fresh pathway emerges, opening new possibilities. The “wings”—freedom from the constraint of automatic behavior. The break is a rupture, allowing awareness to expand beyond what was, reaching a more clarified state. Transcendence is but an evolution of mental form. It’s the mind restructuring, reclaiming agency, and reshaping the plane of experience. Each shift is a microcosmic leap, where angles of thought realign to offer deeper clarity.


The habit circuit break is a fissure in the mind’s mechanistic flow, where routine frays into chaos, and from that chaos, new vectors emerge like an unexpected bend in space-time. The angle shifts as if thought itself had found another dimension to inhabit, a path unfurling like a wing gaining lift. It’s a rebirth of possibility. The “wing” transcends gravity—gravity here being the weight of automatic patterns, the sediment of repetition. What was unconscious is now exposed, a fractured surface allowing light in, and the mind reclaims its sense of sovereignty."

Shadows and Challenging your Boundaries

For the first couple of months in our new rental house, Sputnik would plant herself at the top of the stairs and cry for me to come back upstairs. We tried different methods of coaxing her into coming downstairs and decided time would tell. One day as I was in the kitchen, I saw something move across the floor and realized it was my cat. She had made it downstairs on her own. Now she explores the whole house, usually at night, when all is quiet. She's reminded me that sometimes the limitations I think I have are all in my mind.
