I finished this one a few weeks ago and have been letting it sit - just looking at it to see if I'm really done. I think so (but I've said that before!). This one is a 48"x 48" oil on panel. Haven't given it a varnish yet, will have to wait a few months to let it thoroughly dry.
I'm still struggling with the whole "field painting" thing and whether I need other elements to move this from work that has been seen before. Although interested in order/chaos, I'm wondering if an element that "says" structure is necessary or if the viewer completes the idea by looking for the patterns that are inherently there. By structure I mean some form of ordering, or grid or some such element. I'm back and forth on that one so I guess I'll do them both, depending on the piece. Also the color is truer in the detail, I am not a photoshop guru.

Hey Sarah! that looks cool! it reminds me of every time i see an old truck's front quarter panel, i want to steal it and take it home and put it on my wall. =)

and this post has something to do with the national geographic magazines--is this what you were going to do with them? it looks awesome!
Thanks! Yes, that's the plan, although I haven't come across any Nationals in my wanderings yet.
Sarah, I love it. I, for one, do look for patterns in every abstract piece so I love it just as it is. Sues
