   Les, I think you’ve found a beautiful style with the black paper. They are captivating. The first one is my favorite. If you hadn’t said what it is I’d love it for the abstract design. Wonderful!

   Number one is spectacular Les! I love the colors, the design, the rhythms… Those black negative shapes lead me in and up and around… Those velvety melting colors give it movement. Frame it!

   Great work! #1 is spectacular and “magic flute” comes to mind. Love #2 with dancing entities! In # 3 we view the flower’s energy, really cool. #4 is what’s occuring today. I think we’re gonna get lots of snow!

     After experimenting on the black paper with different mediums I found that gouache works well along with some pens and also pastels. I’m using mostly gouache right now.(this one is gouache)

   These are all so different and such fun. I like the colors in the fence but my fav is # 4. Reminds me of how vast the universe is with the lit up night sky.
