In this series, where I developed a way to "paint with pixels" I eventually filled the space with equal amounts of movements so the images wound up becoming "All Over" compositions. This was a term coined to refer to Jackson Pollocks unique compositional innovation. Literally, there is no centre, foreground, background or hierarchy of composition in his classic "drip" series. The composition was then, evenly "all over" the picture plane. My piece is pretty much 'all over' but not entirely.
This piece was almost finished when I felt that it needed the 5 strong, straight, black bars to finally "pop" the image. As soon as I put them in I immediately thought of my favourite Pollock painting, "Blue Poles". It's an interesting piece, a later one, where he seems to have felt that he had said what he meant to "say" with the all over pieces and was once again open to placing objects into the image that stood out against the all over background.
All these things considered, I thought to title this one of mine after Pollocks "Blue Poles".

“At sea there is no advocacy. We are free from that most noisome form of falsehood, which corrupts the very inward of the soul. Truth is one of the great gifts of the sea. You cannot persuade yourself nor listen to the persuasion of another that the wind is not blowing when it is, or that a cabin with half a foot of water in it is dry, or that a dragging anchor holds. Everywhere the sea is a teacher of truth. I am not sure that the best thing I find in sailing is not this salt of reality.”
— Hilaire Belloc, 1925

Brutalism • Reimagined
Brutalist architecture is one of the most controversial styles of architecture to exist. It’s what people imagine when they think about what a prison looks like, with its cold and imposing exterior. Brutalism is also what people typically picture when they think of government buildings or schools built in the 1950s-1960s.
Brutalist style is known for its heavy, imposing appearance. If there’s one word that can sum up the entirety of brutalism, it’s the word “concrete.” The style came as a response to the sleek and polished Moderne style popular during the early 20th century.

The third of a series of 3 images based on a straight shot of an old, badly painted fence.
The panoramic shot of the fence immediately brought to mind the long, large scale, abstract paintings by both Barnett Newman and Jules Olistki, so I thought to spring off their work to create something of my own.
There's a deep bow here, in the titling, to Olitski. I chose the name after one of my favourite paintings of his, "Balshazzar Dream". It is also green.
