Mostly ink pen tints supported by other tools in the under painting. Looks a little better if blown up full screen.

I've got an idea Byron. Your work as a visualizer choice on itunes for listening to music. I love that colored equalizer or graph in there. very cool.

Luscious colors, rich textures, complex images of great skill!

Delightful colors so nicely put together.Like this a lot Byron.

Dear Byron, You're possibly the only artist who can compose so many different objects and stimuli into a marvellous painting rather than a messy muddle ...

Albert, AT-TA, Sky, Caesar: Thanks for your generous feedback.

Albert: That's both funny and a cool idea.

Dear Caesar, Certainly it's an extreme exaggeration (..."the only artist who can...?) but the underlying point is so much appreciated. My painting goals are terribly simplistic, to approach the former in your note realizing most will fall far from the cup. The latter is my fear. Hopefully most of the latter have ended in the wastebasket. Probably too many get posted when they shouldn't. Regardless, in the most simple way you seem to have articulated the totality of my painting goals however often (and too often) they fall short. Thanks a bunch.

Not so abstract - just sort of evolved unexpectedly a little more literal than normal. Mostly chalk, airbrush, ink pen, and pallet knife worked in all of the bump paints (oil brush, glitter, tub paint), and a sticker brush snuck in there too. More an exercise than anything.
Not sure why - the jpg upload seems to drop out some needed highlights.
