Derek Wood

These are paintings in a series that are abstract, sometimes humorous and intended to reflect what it is like to be alive and trying.

Influences: – Paul Klee – Lyrical Abstraction – George Harriman's Krazy Kat – Chinese painting – Persian Miniatures – Ukiyo-e – Children's art –

I hope that each title and painting combine to create an experience for the viewer that is both playful and interesting. Most or all, I hope you have a little fun looking at them.
