Geological abstracts



I've now finished my two geological abstracts. They were great fun to paint and took me away from the colours I tend to use. The first makes me think of a wild autumn wind, and is based on a microscope slide of a rock from the Ross of Mull in Scotland. The second painting is of a garnet-containing rock in Central Europe, and gives the feeling of spiralling into a gemstone. I've posted them both on etsy now, plus detailed views of parts of the pictures.
