1. Good stuff. Good concept and great texture and composition
I did a series of painting like the second one only I could change the canvases around and they would still flow together as one compositon. My shapes were curvy and flowing though, but the concept was similar. It's like painting an idea that grows and changes and compels the viewer to really look at what's going on with shapes and space. These painting are very mental.

4. we have a big wall with an offset peak
it's hard to find traditional pieces that will balance on it.

I think these will work and our wall is almost the color he's showing them on

10. LOL
I may decide not to get the top piece until I see how the multi piece works out on this big wall that is now painted (what is basically Harvest) gold

8. I like the second one...
...though normally I am not big on abstract art. (Though I do like fantasy art.) But here I like the unusual outline, the size, and the interlocking-pieces concept. It's definitely an eye-catcher and encourages study and reflection!

9. the wall we're trying to fill is difficult
here's how it looked before we textured and painted a soft gold

the couch is gone now too, we have two chairs instead and a large round table there.

the top piece will go above the TV

12. Those are very cool!
They would clash with my Dead Kennedys and Wallace and Gromit posters though. :)

Wonder if BBC America will play it?

14. I really like the first one.
The second one is not my style but it would look good in the right setting.
