"Teddy Bear" by Li Mahalik

Genesis Oil on Masonite, 6"x6"

Oh, what is the fuss

Bears roaming in the sunset

Looking for berries

Until recently, I never paid much attention to Haiku as a form for poems. I think I really like it. Sometimes it's a good start for writing a longer poem, kind of like starting an abstract painting with an idea, than letting it guide you deeper.

Thanks for looking!

"from My Heart" By Li Mahalik

Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas, 20"x16"

I painted this a week ago and let it sit in my studio while pondering about it. It had a lot more red then and had no dark value, and it seemed too sweet. So, I revised it a bit today. Even though it's an abstract, a focal point or area still helps tying everything up. I would have loved all my abstracts to look good no matter how you place it. Not this one, though. It wants to look like a bunch of flowers, from my heart.

An update of my 4'x4' commissioned abstract painting: I'm still painting it in my mind, no kidding!

Please contact me if you have any comments, questions or have something in mind (yes, yours :) for a painting. Or visit my website, and my blog.

"Untitled IV" by Li Mahalik

Oil on Gessoed Masonite, 6"x6", $125

There are so many ways an abstract can turn out: a little darker here and more color there; warmer here and less busy there. So, here it is, an exit way appeared and I called it a day.

"Route 66" by Li Mahalik

Oil on Gessoed Masonite, 6 x 6

This is the third 6"x6" abstract painting I did on one of the masonite panels I ordered a week ago and gessoed myself. Painting a small piece like this is quite different from doing a larger one. A size 10 brush can do what a 4" brush would on a bigger canvas. Modifying or even doing over is so much easier, so I'm loving it. Best of all, it gives a thumbnail view of what a bigger painting might look like, although the process and technique would be quite different from one to the other.
