no 72 pollock much ?

i like the color in that one

and the bottom part of the last one, not so fond of the use of letters and skribbles, would be more interesting if they'd blend into the abstract side of things more.. but the sections where the paint is just going nuts are nice

Cool, like Frusciante Vs Basquiat or something, I prefer the smearing to the dripping. It looks like you really had fun especially with the first few.

I like the Pollock stuff, and would like to see it taken even further. Avoid text or symbols and trying to get the same effect from the colors themselves. For example, red and yellow are already safety colors. Don't think about what you want to say in them. Just paint and find out what they say. What you think and feel will come out even if you want to hide them. You may be experimenting with primary colors, but the richness is in the blends. Go from 3 to 3 million.

I don't mean to take the expert tone. I am old and have heard this same shit for years. Just passing it on. Take it for what it's worth, or do it as an exercise. I am drowning in abstraction right now.
