On the other hand, what are the alternatives? I guess we are all privileged to have seen their art when it is already a part of an established canon. I think comparisons beg to be made with your artwork. Rothko -- the dominating rectangles -- is evident, but then you add these trees, these perpendicular lines, which also echo Kandinsky. In my opinion you have an interesting and original mix. @Vivien: Thank you! I hope you will continue to visit here! @Casey: Absolutely, and sometimes it may seem just too overwhelming.

The way you've picked out my water themes is spooky, Elish. I grew up under a rain cloud, you may not know. And right on the ocean beaches, too. And, because of my families' involvement in the logging industry (Washington State), I have indelible images of great conifers tacked on my brain. You may be interested to see my response post because I tie in some Northwest School (Abstract Expressionist movement in Washington State, USA that slightly pre-dates the New York school) influences. I am greatly flattered (and humbled) to be described by comparison to the abstract masters. Their influence does loom large for contemporary abstract painters, eh?
