I like this very much Julie. It is a bold and strong arrangement and the colours are beautiful.

I can see ST's influence but you have added your own twist. Lovely strong colours which make for a clean and fresh painting.

Now that I've seen your second "centre line" painting, I can say I love the concept though I probably couldn't remotely produce anything like this. I love the abstract quality of this piece and the interaction of the shapes.

This caught my eye immediately. Wonderful shapes and palette, very cleverly executed.

When dry I washed the colour over, removing the masking fluid when the paint had dried.
