Many colors contribute to the complexity of this work – blue, yellow, white, teal, and bit of other colors. Signed statement piece. Painted in 2017 by Nestor Toro in Los Angeles

All of my painting start with big bold strokes of many colors. Love creating those first layers building up into a complex combination of shapes, colors and patters. This piece was made using palette knifes and rubber spatulas then drizzled endless amounts of clear string gel swirling layers after layers creating the finishing texture, which is very striking. High quality rich Golden gold, orange and blue iridescent mediums and UV protection. Statement piece.
triple primed canvas.
Vibrant and very detailed piece with bold color blending, lots of drips and big palette knife strokes…Pretty much everything I love in a painting!!! This painting conveys motion and energy as well as lots of light and fast changes in contrast. Has a very active summer feel and yet one can get lost in it!!! triple primed canvas and heavy layered with high quality Golden and Sennelier acrylics, ink and Liquitex spray paint, UV gloss protective spray. Contemplative statement piece.

I am often asked if I will sign works on the front if the work is signed on the back. YES of course! I almost always sign my works when I complete them and determine the orientation. I sometimes will create a work that I feel looks amazing in both horizontal (landscape) and vertical (portrait) orientations. With those works I ask the purchaser if they would like the work signed on the front.
Shawna wanted the work signed and here are a couple of pics of me signing the work!

As I mentioned in a previous post, regular collectors are one of the wonderful things about being an artist! Knowing that there are collectors who own multiple works of mine is really an honor I never even thought about when I was starting out so it is always thrilling to get an email notice when there is a sale and to recognize the name! Peter in Switzerland is one of those.
Peter has purchased several works and this most recent purchase was of 3 works.
Here is the first called Distant Red. It is 20 x 16 inches.
