foci of red, one, purple, dark green somewhat circular shapes, splatters and drops. All with a kind of exploding energy.

The edges are hard; I love them. And I also love how the cells are differently sized. So, although the edges are hard, they are not straight nor consistently of one width. Hard and loose in dialogue. And the subtle colorful diagonal marks which pay no attention to the boundaries of the squares!

green/gray and light pink background and pink lines creating a hand drawn grid (the lines don't go all across the page). The "squares" in the are not uniform nor are actually inconsistent rectangles. Some of the squares are filled with loosely applied transparent watercolor, others with Posca markers and others Noodlers Southwest Sunset ink. Many only have the pink background and nothing else. There simple line drawings of a triangle, a circle a squiggle and a half moon.

Rich saturated blues dominate this abstract piece. In the center left of the piece there are yellow, red and gray/green sections that suggest an object. Elsewhere the blue and black lines are looser, chaotic.

portrait oriented abstract piece with red, purple, blue, orange and white. There is a round orange circle on lower right. Blue and red strokes suggest an underlying strucure; white splatters suggests movement and problematizes the structure.

Thick and thin black lines on deep orange background. The thick black line circles outward from the middle. Thinner black lines, dots and arrows swim in the space in-between. Two black circles are filled in with solid colors, one green, the other red.

This painter's (@ehkoart.bsky.social) work has really been resonating with me. I love the layering and texture of her work. And in this one the purples purple/black speak to me.
