Unique, Experimental Paintings and Visual Explorations

My imagination seems to demand that I try several different styles, including surrealist and mixtures of my most frequent painting styles. Sometimes these pieces evolve into something interesting. Many simply make their way to the recycling bin or the local dump. I find it unfortunate that collectors and most galleries seem to demand a singular style to be associated with an artist—a sort of signature style. Singularity of style is incredibly boring to me. Eclecticism and experimentation is my abiding preference. Here’s a couple in this suite of paintings:
