abstraction with geometry

Back in art school the design class taught  composition., which is the arrangement of shapes, values and colors into a unified, balanced  picture. We learned the golden section and the fibonacci sequence as a way to divide retangles into sections. I became interested in the geometric shapes and numbers  when I got a book on the crop circles. I can divide a circle from 3 , the triangle to 9 sides called a nonagon.

I work out my sacred geometry designs on 8x11 graft paper with a small pencil compass  I work them out through trial and error. The geometric shapes are as accurate as possible, with what I have to work with. I then transfer to large canvas with charcoal stick tied to a thread. At this point I have no idea about colors or values. I get ideas from other artists paintings that I research from the internet or from my books. These paintings take me a while to design and paint. There is a lot of colors tried and painted over.  The drawings, below the other artists works, are what I have been working on  recently. Most of my paintings and supplies are in storage. Christina took me over the other day and I now have some canvas to paint on and 3 of my  paintings that I hung  up in my alcove. I have painted over 50 sacred geometry paintings.
