Artist Statement Take 2

For my concentration I am exploring shapes, line and compositions through the use of varied mediums and colors. To do this I used canvas, watercolors, a wood burner, and paper. Within the constraints of basic geometric shapes I look for balance. I usually begin with pencil on another material and eventually outline using sharpie marker or a wood burner. I generally start out with one shape and add wherever the composition looks empty. Once the shapes are outlined, I begin to add color and work on maintaining the balance with the color. There is no specific time that I decide a piece is finished. I usually end when the piece as a whole looks complete and balanced.

Hello.
So here is a random assortment of some of the work I have completed so far this year. I would love to hear comments on everything. Please be as brutal and honest as you can manage. I would especially love hearing things back on my 2 concentration pieces as I am working on figuring where to go with that next. I am not really sure how much I like the coloring of the second concentration piece, so if you wouldn't mind commenting about that, that would be fantastic! Thanks so much!
