These paintings are contemplative in nature and are intended to be soft and matte in feel and look.  The paint is applied with felt instead of a brush to make a satin finish, and these are layered to create depth and nuance.  The overlay is often gold of something stark in colour for contrast.  These paintings fall organically into a space and, curiously, add space, or create more volume, instead of taking space away.  What I am looking for is something beautiful, capable of acting as a companion to meditation.
