Southwest "Pure" Abstractions

As Wassily Kandinsky said, "Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult.  It demands that you know how to draw, have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors and that you are a true poet. This last is essential."  For me, it's pure poetry. Click on each of the works to see the full image.
