I really like this, Hermes. It’s a bold design with contrast and texture that is captivating to look at. There is interest in the background too!

Hermes, great use of broken color.

Lot's to like here. Shapes, shading, depth, texture, color. I'm never sure how to judge abstracts but I do like this. Good to see you doing what you do so well.

Thank you, John. Glad you like it.

I love this, such rich juicy colours. I thought the background was encaustic for some reason.

Thank you! The background is just plain oil colour, mainly alkyds. I spend as much time on my backgrounds as on the subjects.

I just had an afterthought: I think my technique in the background may work well in landscapes and seascapes.
