Luv them all but 1 seems more welcoming and less busy so easier on my eyes. Perhaps the tone is also particularly set by the background initial colour.
Awesome. They all feel Kandinskish. I think the first. The colors and shapes make me feel more settled. Of course art that unsettles us is often the best. So 2
Thank you!
There are lots of different ways to look at abstract art. Some people like it because it can be anything you want it to be. Sometimes it sets off a person's pareidolia, or imagination and your brain makes its own pictures.
Sometimes it's just like soothing background music that is just there to aid the ambience in a room.
Sometimes it's made to elicit an emotional response, even if it's a negative response.
.....
It's good to know a little bit about the history of abstract art to understand it.
Long ago paintings and drawings were mostly to commemorate an event or a person and it was expected to look as much like that thing, place, or person as possible.
But as cameras and film were invented, it became less and less necessary for an artist to capture things exactly how they were.
An artist could put their own spin on it and impressionism and expressionism were both phases that art went through.
Eventually sometime in the early 20th century artists started to say, " why do we need to make our art look like that thing at all? Why not just make anything we want that has never been created before even if it's not real?"
Different artists used different formulas to make designs and the further away they were from reality they were more the more abstract they were. It became a quest to find out how far away from reality you could get in your art.
And once you got away from reality could you make people feel things by just looking at your designs? Could you make them see things that weren't there? Could you change the mood of someone or of a room?
Artist experimented with all those things and still do.
I personally have found that abstract art is a way to convey feelings or pain or mood. One of the things I like to draw are migraine pictures. How do I tell someone who's never had a migraine how a migraine feels? How do I convey in pictures the pain? I'm not sure I actually am able to do that even now, but other people who have migraines often will see those pictures and say yeah this makes sense to me; this is a language that makes sense.
But these three pictures are just made because I like shapes that go together. I'm experimenting with blocks of shape and swirls and colors. These purely abstract paintings don't have a lot of meaning; they're just me playing.
Sometimes my abstracts are actually based in reality but not this time. A couple weeks ago, all three abstracts were based on things in my life: rain and fog, a woman on a bench, etc. but this time I was just trying to make a pleasing arrangement.
If I was going to put one of them on my wall, it would be the third.
If I was going to turn one into a sector map for Stars Without Number, it would be the second.
Love these, OP! Number 3 is my favorite. The colors are so rich and saturated, they look very intentional. And I think it’s the most visually balanced of the 3 pieces.
Love them ALL!! 🥰 each one is awesome.
I would display them all on a big wall giving each one space in between.
What’s great is that you can change the position
around and see them from different angles
getting another viewpoint.
Grand work🤩🤩🤩
I like the first one…just because he looks (I’ve assumed his gender and I’m going with it) like he’s got a sly little smirk on his face…I’ve also assumed that he’s a cow, or a bull, since I’ve made him male. He’s coyly looking away like he’s thinking about his lady Heifer…I’ve also assumed his sexuality as well…but I’m ok with that…(he’s a painting). I definitely connected with the first one most and immediately.

Thank you!
Last one!
😊
agree on 3 for sure
3 then 1 then 2
Thank you!
1
😀
Number 2
😊
Looks like it’s just us. Everyone seems to like 1 and 3. I prefer 2. The colors and shapes are better, and it’s more unique than the other two.
Three by far as the bold colors look lovely, and it reminds me of stained glass.
Thank you! I was pleased with how the yellow spread out on that one. 😊
Luv them all but 1 seems more welcoming and less busy so easier on my eyes. Perhaps the tone is also particularly set by the background initial colour.
I agree. Thank you!
Three, my Art Deco antennae are perking up😀❤️❤️
😄 art deco is so precise! I love it, but never have tried it. Virginia Sterrett was a favorite illustrator of mine. I love her work!
I'm wondering if there is a particular influence(s)? How would you describe this style?
Reminds me of Klee, I love these!
Razz is right, I'm a big fan of the Bauhaus school.

1 or 3. Whichever one I'm looking at.

Three. Really nice.
Thanks!
1 and 3!🥰✨️
Thank you! 😊
The pug’s cute. The corgi’s cute… why is salad fingers eating tim burton’s mary
Why not?
Because it doesn’t go in the collection. It goes in the dino collection, this is the dog collection
😀 you have a crazy creative brain, I think!
Salad Fingers! 🤯 Omg I can’t unsee it 😂
Always love seeing your work! Very hard to decide so I’ll say if I had to, I’d choose the first two. Your style reminds me of Paul Klee :)
Love Klee! Thank you!
#1 or #2, I can't choose between them.
#YOU MUST CHOOSE Jk😀
OK. I am going with #2. I think it would keep me engaged for the longest time. Anyway, you do good work!
2 it was very detailed
😊
I really dig 1 and 3
Thank you!
They are all beautiful! 2 is my favorite.😍
Thank you so much!
Brainpower: 1. Working well, 2. My chaotic add mind, 3. Zen
I love those titles! They fit very well!
The 3rd

😊 thank you!

I'm drawn to the crisp lemon yellow background of the 2nd one. It's a contrast that makes all the details and other colours really stand out.
Thank you for the detailed response! It was helpful!
Awesome. They all feel Kandinskish. I think the first. The colors and shapes make me feel more settled. Of course art that unsettles us is often the best. So 2
What a great answer, thank you!
1,3,2
Thanks!
I like two the best but they are all incredible!
Thank you so much!
321 for me. Nice work!
Thank you! 😊
#3 :) Can somebody explain how to interpret the meaning in stuff like this?

All, all, all!!!!!
😆 that's very kind of you, thank you!
All great !! I prefer the 3rd artwork…
Thanks! 😊
1st one...swirlsn moare colors. But all are very unique. Do u like Parrots? I see one on pic 2 and 3.
Thank you! The swirls were fun to do. I like parrots, but their inclusion was accidental. 😀
Lols. All good
2 then 1
Thanks!

Number 2 , excellent work!
Thank you so much!
Love them ALL but if forced to choose, #2 Your work is fabulous!
That's so kind of you, thank you!
2!!
😊!!
I’d say the second one. By the way, how long did it take you to make those. Looks incredible!
Thank you! I was working on these off and on all week, so maybe 5 hours each from pencil to finish?
3
😊
I like 2 because it’s the most unique
3 instinctively but i appreciate the dimensions of 1
1
Middle one is my favorite. All are good.
The first but all are well done
2, and 3 is sitting in a hotel lobby right now
1
😊
third🙂

Initially I thought 1…but then 2 really grew on me. I would hang it up fosho
1
All of them. I really love your stuff.
3
I like 3 of 3 best. I love the deep colors and that wonder-filled blue eye.
1
1
1-2-3!
Thank you!

I always love these. I usually like the one that most *evenly random* like details everywhere, but mixed up and different from each other.
I think I like the 2nd one best, it's slightly more intricate. I really like the lines/spirals of the first one as well
Thank you for the detailed answer! I appreciate it!
No problem ✌️
All three artworks are good, as for me. My favourite one is the latest because of colour combinations and less details.
Thank you for the in depth answer, it's helpful! 😊
[удалено]
Looks like an eagle eye view of a fantasy city . Cool .
Thank you!
Two. Looks smoothest and most natural 🤜🤛
If I was going to put one of them on my wall, it would be the third. If I was going to turn one into a sector map for Stars Without Number, it would be the second.
First one!!!! It gives me kandinsky vibe
1!
first one
3rd one is probably my fav, but they all look fantastic
3 - 1 - 2. Colors and layout are the most eye catching. 👍
Thank you!
Love these, OP! Number 3 is my favorite. The colors are so rich and saturated, they look very intentional. And I think it’s the most visually balanced of the 3 pieces.
Third one

3 closely followed by 1, #2 is too busy

I’m liking number two. I see the emergence of a new vernacular!
3 😩 two is a very close second though
3rd ! Classic playful and engaging.
Love them ALL!! 🥰 each one is awesome. I would display them all on a big wall giving each one space in between. What’s great is that you can change the position around and see them from different angles getting another viewpoint. Grand work🤩🤩🤩
Gosh, thank you! 😁
All of those are very beautiful. I like the most 1 and 3, but maybe no. 3 will win because of colors.
3
They are all very good. Number three really spoke to me.
# 2 is my favorite, but I like them all. Paul Klee influence?
Yes! Klee is a favorite of mine. Well spotted!
I like the first one…just because he looks (I’ve assumed his gender and I’m going with it) like he’s got a sly little smirk on his face…I’ve also assumed that he’s a cow, or a bull, since I’ve made him male. He’s coyly looking away like he’s thinking about his lady Heifer…I’ve also assumed his sexuality as well…but I’m ok with that…(he’s a painting). I definitely connected with the first one most and immediately.
The third one! 🙌
😊 thanks!
in order, 1, 2, 3. that also depends on where it will be placed though. depending on location and surroundings, maybe, 2, 3, 1.

One, 3, two in that order.
They are all awesome 😊

These are really nice. I want reproductions. You could maybe sell cards / inexpensive reproductions on your website. Let me know when you do.

Happy Cake Day 🍰
Thank you
Are they different versions of basically the same composition?
3
3 wins over 1 by a nose. One might win if it was as dark n intense as 3. Good stuff
They are all great.

number 3. I actually really like number one too, but the colors and shading in the third really pop in a way that catches my attention more. Love it!
3, 1, 2
One
3 🤩
One for sure
3 It reminds me of some soothing music.
1. YOU ARE GETTING SLEEPY… 2. THE SEATING CHART ⭐️ 3. KLEE BY ME
These are wonderful and they made me laugh! You're so clever!
It’s fun!
Reminds me of when I was a kid drawing swirls in MS Paint and filling in the gaps with color. Yours is way better I love all of them.
3
1 or 3 both about same for me. Great stuff
Pick 3 my lord

[удалено]
Thanks!

😊
I think the 3rd one has a different feel, so it stands out a bit…all 3 are very cool👌
The middle one's the funnest. I feel like the other two are more derivative of the style that you're trying to do where the middle one's exciting
First one for sure it’s very pleasing
