I just started drawing one of the pieces. I then felt it needed another piece to provide some sort of balance. After completion it reminded me of two bulls fighting each other.

I was going with the idea of a lighted candle at night. I enjoyed the simplicity of the design. After I was finished with this I thought of flipping it over and calling it Tornado.

I was actually thinking of time travel. Though after I was done with this piece. It reminded me more the Hallway in the movie “The Wizard of OZ,” written by Lyman Frank Baum (1856 – 1919).

I was still thinking about time travel. So, I decided along the idea of doorway portals and how I might be traveling through them as traveling through newer sci-fi versions of today traveling their space crafts through worm holes or such.

Having fun overlaying more different sized triangles with matching side lengths to see what developed.  With trying to keep a center. However, the process of the overlays became over challenging removing simplicity.

Originally titled “Untitled,” though I got to thinking of raindrops falling through the sky, or flipping it over to see tents on the mountainside. All in the eye of the beholder.

Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s I was influenced by Christianity and the powers of Peace and Love that goes with the Peace symbol of that time period. This was my attempt to combine two beautiful beliefs. It is also my adopted logo.

I just don't think of a deliberate idea; I just let my thoughts wander with this design. It reminded me of a Renaissance theme in trying to develop some sort of abstract. I had been stumped for a time and could not think of anything; a total blank. However, once I started again it reminded me of a rebirth  in creating something I had been stuck at.

Originally I thought of someone parachuting, but I decided it did not seem to have enough flow. Hence, “Scorpion Man.”  Who knows he might become the next sci-fi hit movie star!

Going through life one step at a time. I noticed once in a while (or more than likely). I would come across a challenge that was a bigger challenge to overcome or task to accomplish. This was a deliberate attempt to show a simple one step at a time. Then stepping up into a larger step (as in life) with overcoming and continuing on.

If you need a little help with my understanding;

Facing the Abstract from upper left stepping down to lower right; watch out for the middle large step which could cause a stubble.
