I've posted a new gallery of some of my recent abstract paintings, which
some of you may have an interest in checking out, for whichever reasons you
prefer.

These paintings are made with a variety of materials from oil, watercolor
and pastel paints, to housepaint, solvents and melted plastics:

Nahh, "Savageduck" appears to be a real nym. I checked his profile;
he's been posting under that nym for years.

your detail shot better than the full picture. For that reason I think I'd

Not that I didn't like any of them. "Planet Fall" had a
composition I liked; I wouldn't be ashamed to have it on a wall of my living

Unfortunately, this whole way of creating art reminds me of tossing
off -- just throwing something down and hopin the result is >art.

I see
too much of that in attempts to write poetry, on usenet and elsewyere,
and I don't like it here any better here than there.

Occasionally a
good piece does result; but that's always too dependent on accident or
mere coincidence for my liking.

cool!

my dad just sent me a bunch of abstract art.

it's some of my favorite kind of art.

my dad paints on a regular basis.

Are any of your father's works online anywhere? I'd like to check those
out,
since abstract is by far my favorite form.

I hope to somedays get some of Sulzbach's work scanned and online, but
he's
such a hermit-type, living out in the wouds of Alabama, it'll be some
trick getting that done.

thanks for sharing.

(sharks beware:
i've got a new pair of teeth.)

This unsent post I just found in my "Drafts" section, from last year, of
another old-time artist friend of mine, you might enjoy, as well:

Here are galleries of Barfield, my teacher, who has been highly
influenced
by Aborigine art and culture...

The art of Dan Barfield:

http://www.danbarfield.com/index.php

The Dream:
http://www.danbarfield.com/gallery1.php

The Reality:
http://www.danbarfield.com/gallery2.php

my dad is very old and has never been interested
in sharing his art but with close friends and family.

we try to get him to go online like some of his
art friends. however, he really doesn't feel
like his work merits that kind of exposure.

i think it does. however, i'm far from an expert.

that dan barfeild stuff is abstract.
however, my dads stuff is more like yours.
the barfield stuff is pretty and phantasmagorical
in an otherworldly kind of way. it kept taking
me to the astral plane. that's some of my
favorite stuff. people who paint like
that usually don't get much exposure.
that's what makes it "art."

i'm not big on discussing paints and techniques
but i love sharing ideas like you just did.
my dad just offloaded a few paintings on to
me as gifts. at some point, i'll scan them
onto a webpage dedicated to him. i really
don't know what's going to happen to all of
his stuff when he goes. he's got hundreds
laying around the house.
