Hi all.

Trying another abstract on for size. Thank you for your thoughts on the last one.

I really want to get better at these - so if you have feedback or criticism in any way, please let me know.

Another winner in my eyes Nathan, not a nit to be heard from me.

Nathan - Another good one. Love the sweeping edges, flow and the cram kind of effect in the front. The warm yellow wash in the top left also adds to the feel.

This is beautiful, Nathan. I find these abstracts difficult to take and difficult to critique because there are no clear "rules" of composition, but If I had a nit, it is that there is a bit too much wash, I think.

Beautiful sweeping lines in this image. But, I kind of prefer the composition of "Abstract Dahlia 1". There are a couple of tiny dark spots visible in the larger version that could go away.

I think you are doing really well at these! This has a good flow to it, zero suggestions.

No suggestions, Nathan - an eminently satisfying image, beautifully composed and coloured !

Nathan:
I do like the flow in this image and the yellow/pink wash. Like Scott, I am finding that the band of wash above left center a little out of place.
