The next three images share a common palette and have a top-down or left-right flow.

Back in March I started a series called Experiment 2023.1, and then followed that with Experiment 2023.2. As the name implies, I was experimenting with new techniques, rather than building a themed set.

Those experiments generated a few loosely related collections. While I posted those series, the experiments continued behind the scenes. This series consists of my favorites from those background experiments.

This new series picks up near where the previous series left off. I have been busy with other things and I did not realize that the blog had gone dry. I am trying to catch up now.

Here are a couple of simple geometric abstractions.

Ironically, I started this series with the intention to create interesting textures, based on simple curves, that I could apply as a background to large flat areas in an image like this.

As the series developed, the textures became less curvy and more jagged and became the foreground focal point.

Now here, the texture is minimal, just a little ridge between color regions.

I like this "painting on ridges" technique. It works best with a reduced palette, or a low density underlying texture.

And here is Curve Textures #2 recolored.

Here I revisit Curve Textures #12 with coordinated colors.

In this image there is more coordination between the colors and the texture than in the previous.
