I used many of the same colors that I used on the first one in this trio. While one painting dried I worked on another one. There is nothing worse than smearing the dots.<br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/SvpyO6lWr1I/AAAAAAAAX9c/Q6TS6-Lr2AI/s1600-h/Ocho.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402756303553998674" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/SvpyO6lWr1I/AAAAAAAAX9c/Q6TS6-Lr2AI/s400/Ocho.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 398px; width: 400px;" /></a></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> acrylic on canvas, 20" x 20"</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-7380618087580437226?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/-1-yakJy3E0" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com4http://dotart.blogspot.com/2012/01/ocho.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-39488715654560848722012-01-23T20:08:00.000-06:002012-01-23T20:08:51.673-06:002012-01-23T20:08:51.673-06:00For months I have been stewing about how to complete my next three paintings from my series "Numeros." The canvases for these paintings were all 20” x 20”. Although I had a certain process for the previous ones, I didn’t want to repeat what I had done before. During the summer I thought about using some colors I had seen in the Japanese animé cartoon, “Ponyo.” Beyond that, I had to think about what I could do to make these next three pieces different.<br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/SvY3v9_qknI/AAAAAAAAXos/s8ZtpnVhqu8/s1600-h/Siete.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401566100312461938" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/SvY3v9_qknI/AAAAAAAAXos/s8ZtpnVhqu8/s400/Siete.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 396px; width: 400px;" /></a></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> acrylic on canvas, 20" x 20"</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> For each canvas I used a specific background colors inspired by “Ponyo.” I then created meandering lines similar to ones I used in previous paintings in this series. While I was rotating my canvases, an idea hit me. Why not have the lines run horizontally rather than run vertically? I looked at my meandering lines and thought of all the line graphs that have been used to talk about the economic news over the last year. Anyway, this is the first of the three new paintings.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-3948871565456084872?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/knR53oadBYg" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com2http://dotart.blogspot.com/2012/01/siete.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-83264593958331000862012-01-19T00:12:00.003-06:002012-01-19T00:13:50.528-06:002012-01-19T00:13:50.528-06:00Well, here is the third painting I finished for the Poydras Home Art Show in 2008. It is the most experimental of the set of three. Again the background color was a challenge. What colors would pop?

The canvases were covered with a special gesso for watercolor use. So this was a new experience for me. I normally had painted watercolor on paper. The biggest difference with watercolor canvas was the ability to easily pull up the paint. The trade-off was that if I accidentally wet an area the paint would come up too. Anyway, this is one of six pieces I made with watercolor on watercolor canvas. <br /> <br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4725/1796/1600/Afire.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4725/1796/320/Afire.jpg" width="393" /></a></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> watercolor on canvas, 12" x 12"</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-5017557534397706932?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/Iog-HxxsTA4" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com2http://dotart.blogspot.com/2011/12/afire.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-43406849903878616592011-12-02T21:12:00.000-06:002011-12-04T21:16:43.797-06:002011-12-04T21:16:43.797-06:00This color pencil piece, “120 Colors” requires a lot more explanation than most of my works. I’ve divided this post up into parts to help keep my thoughts together:<br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/Ryq01DzaidI/AAAAAAAAEc0/nW1r-tyOd20/s1600-h/120+Colors+11:07.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128109949361752530" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/Ryq01DzaidI/AAAAAAAAEc0/nW1r-tyOd20/s400/120+Colors+11:07.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> colored pencil on paper, 21" x 26.5"</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Combination</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> Seven years ago an instructor at a workshop suggested to me that I combine some of processes into one piece. Some folks have given me grief about working in all these styles. Unfortunately for me I go through reactionary phases. I swing from one direction to another one. My fellow artists have told me in recent years they recognize what a I do no matter what I do. Yesterday was a deadline for delivering artwork for a weekend art show. Well, I didn’t want to do dots this time. The new paintings appear on my blog&nbsp;<a href="http://artatrandom.blogspot.com/">art at random.</a></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> So what exactly did I combine in this piece? Well, since I’m posting this artwork here, you know there are dots in it. In this instance the use of dots was inspired by the answer bubble sheets used in LEAP testing (the tests Louisiana students have to pass to graduate). It happened that I started this piece in the March of 2005 during “testing week” at a high school where I was teaching art. When this particular week rolls around homeroom teachers administer the tests. I was a substitute for an absent homeroom teacher. Well, I am no fan of this duty – even if it is primarily reading a script.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> To begin this piece I created a grid. Then I drew outlines for my dots – like the bubbled in dots I mentioned. The last elements were some squiggly expressionist lines drawn through the grid. But that was only the set-up of parts.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">A Whole Set of Color Pencils</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> Again and again I have listened to artists talk about their limited palette of colors used creating artwork. Well, at that time I was using my fourth 120- color pencil set. Too often there are colors that hardly or ever get used. Anyway, I was bound and determined to use each and every color for once. I was kind of inspired by a “kitsch” art show I saw in Boston at the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Random Color Choice</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> In my last two posts I spoke about my interest in working randomly. Well, unlike my other works that include dots, I chose my combination of colors blindly. Specifically I picked out six pencils at a time without looking. Then I filled in each square, containing dots, on my grid. When finished I placed the six in another container before choosing six more. As I completed a round of choosing every color, then I’d start the rotation back to the original container. It took a long time to render the whole piece.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Reaction</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> Needless to say both artists and non-artists have been fascinated by this work. Recently someone told me I should do a close-up study of this piece. At this time I have no specific plans for continuing this tangent of my artwork. Here are some close-up shots.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/Ryq02DzaieI/AAAAAAAAEc8/CDwvXGHC5AA/s1600-h/120+Colors+Close+Up.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128109966541621730" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/Ryq02DzaieI/AAAAAAAAEc8/CDwvXGHC5AA/s400/120+Colors+Close+Up.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/Ryq02TzaifI/AAAAAAAAEdE/BFPscz6BaSY/s1600-h/120+Colors+Close+Up+2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128109970836589042" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/Ryq02TzaifI/AAAAAAAAEdE/BFPscz6BaSY/s400/120+Colors+Close+Up+2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-4340684990387861659?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/HcZ8ItuC80c" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com2http://dotart.blogspot.com/2011/12/this-color-pencil-piece-120-colors.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-18358318722745309262011-11-28T01:53:00.000-06:002011-12-03T19:20:50.995-06:002011-12-03T19:20:50.995-06:00In the fall of 2004 a print shop went out of business. The owner invited my group of art talent teachers over to gather whatever junk we wanted. One item I found was a plastic container of brass tacks. I brought them to my small classroom. Over the next year I wondered what I could possible do with them. I also collected some gold chain from my co-op gallery that closed at end of 2004. You never know when you'll pick up some<br /> neat junk.<br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> And then came the “Not Easel Art” Show. It was the show I mentioned in a previous post that did not include drawings or paintings. I had just worked with tacks. Well now I tried brass tacks. This time I found some odd pieces of wood in the classroom. They were in a box of wood scraps. Each one had a circular hole. I think the pieces supported some kind of pipe at one time.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> Anyway, these are two pieces have intrigued people. I decided to make them opposites. One had a hole up and the other one had a hole down. Yes, my titles are usually matter of fact. It helps me to remember what I name my pieces.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5YGcM2s3pn0/Ts34Vj6pwxI/AAAAAAAAh10/1KU8HiNioqk/s1600/Hole+Up.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5YGcM2s3pn0/Ts34Vj6pwxI/AAAAAAAAh10/1KU8HiNioqk/s640/Hole+Up.JPG" width="198" /></a><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hole Up,</span>&nbsp;brass tacks on wood with chain, 4.5" x 17"<br /> <br /> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8icztjstKOg/Ts34meNQv6I/AAAAAAAAh18/1wn2EOO995Y/s1600/Hole+Down.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8icztjstKOg/Ts34meNQv6I/AAAAAAAAh18/1wn2EOO995Y/s640/Hole+Down.JPG" width="206" /></a> <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Hole Down,</span>&nbsp;brass tacks on wood with chain, 4.5" x 17"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-1835831872274530926?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/r9ZB4xnwCCs" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com0http://dotart.blogspot.com/2011/11/more-found-object-art.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-12713142964519790842011-11-24T01:45:00.000-06:002011-12-03T19:21:12.080-06:002011-12-03T19:21:12.080-06:00From the end of 2003 to the winter of 2005, I continued to have sales of the Greek Code paintings. But as far as producing new dot art, I did not. I kept experimenting and trying new directions. The artist who organized the Sofa Art Show continued to organize more art shows. It wasn't long before she again invited me to participate. Some of those shows had an impact on the new art I created. In 2005 she asked a group of us to create works that did not involve drawing or painting. She and I had attended a number of artist panel discussions that featured artists who were much more conceptual in their art making. She figured we ought to have a go at being more conceptual.<br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4725/1796/1600/Nail%20Order.1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="224" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4725/1796/200/Nail%20Order.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <b>Nail Order,</b> nails and wood, 4" x 6.625"</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> I had created a number of grid works over a seven-year-period, so I started with one for the first few of these pieces. First I scrounged for hardware and wood scraps in my attic and garage. I had turned 40 the previous year and my house was built the same year I was born. So it seemed natural for me to work with found objects. These were extra items just lying around. I even went to my family’s home to see if there were unused wood scraps or hardware that might make interesting artwork.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4725/1796/1600/Silver%20Circles.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4725/1796/400/Silver%20Circles.jpg" width="276" /></a></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <b>Silver Circles,</b> tacks on wood, 7.125" x 18.875"</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> The first piece was a bit boring. I simply nailed nails in a grid. The second piece is where I happened upon the idea of keeping the pattern more random. The environment at school made me embrace working in a random fashion. Working randomlly was more exciting. To my surprise the creation of these works went super fast.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-1271314296451979084?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/YYAfAA05bW8" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com0http://dotart.blogspot.com/2011/11/random-wood.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-67736889036980203542011-11-20T01:41:00.000-06:002011-12-04T21:17:19.489-06:002011-12-04T21:17:19.489-06:00Sometimes I happen upon artists whose works relate to what I’m doing in my art. In the spring of 2004, I attended an art educator convention in Denver, Colorado. After an all day bus tour, I spent the following days exploring the city on my own. I attempted to go to&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vance_Kirkland">The Kirkland Museum of Fine &amp; Decorative Art,</a>&nbsp;but it was not open. The museum was one the art museums listed in an art lover's guide to art museums.<br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> So, then I continued down the street to a state museum. When I was browsing at the gift shop, I ran across several books written about&nbsp;<a href="http://images.google.com/images?client=firefox-a&amp;channel=s&amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&amp;hl=en&amp;q=vance+kirkland&amp;btnG=Search+Images&amp;gbv=2">Vance Kirkland’s work.</a>&nbsp;His earlier work resembles the various styles that were popular at the beginning of the last century. Later on his interest turned to images from space and he began to use dots as stars. There’s also an Op (optical illusion) Art feel to these later paintings. Well, I just had to buy the books on his work. They made my luggage come very close to the weight limit on my flight back.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-6773688903698020354?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/lxvRYzDrCoQ" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com0http://dotart.blogspot.com/2011/11/vance-kirkland.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-62011544383447016142011-11-16T01:39:00.000-06:002011-12-04T21:17:02.419-06:002011-12-04T21:17:02.419-06:00In 1998 I pursued earning my teaching credentials. This meant taking thirty hours of education courses. When I completed the coursework, by the end of 1999, I began to obsess about trends in current art. What was happening that would define 21st century art. My course from 1985 needed some updating. In browsing the art books at Barnes and Noble, I found came across a series of books published by Phaidon. It is called “Contemporary Artists.”<br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> The first book I just happened to discover had artwork that fascinated me. This was before I began working on the first eight code paintings. The artist is&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yayoi_Kusama">Yayoi Kusama</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=yayoi+kusama&amp;sourceid=navclient-ff&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;rlz=1B3GGGL_en___US230&amp;um=1&amp;sa=N&amp;tab=wi">her work</a>&nbsp;(some of her work is visually sexual) happens to include dots. She creates installations that are a combination of feminism, surrealism, pop and minimalism. As I’ve continued to paint the dot paintings, I’ve referred back to her work to spur me forward.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-6201154438344701614?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/aZ1191jZJCo" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com0http://dotart.blogspot.com/2011/11/yayoi-kusama.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-86991379029918762542011-11-12T01:34:00.000-06:002011-12-04T21:17:40.353-06:002011-12-04T21:17:40.353-06:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/Rwxav9nr91I/AAAAAAAAEFc/zytWUVvi2kw/s1600-h/Dancing+Lights.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5119566656454784850" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/Rwxav9nr91I/AAAAAAAAEFc/zytWUVvi2kw/s400/Dancing+Lights.JPG" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> acrylic on canvas, 30' x 30'</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> Flashing back to the spring of ’03, I was invited to be in a show called “The Sofa Art Show”. The artist organizing the show instructed all participants that works could not be smaller than 30’ x 30’. Well, normally I avoid making artwork that size because working space and storage space is limited at home. Even in the classroom, where I was teaching at the time, space was limited there too. Well, all I had to do was create the one piece and show up for the hanging.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> So what did I want to do for imagery? Well, by this point I was wearing glasses for night driving. The glasses helped with making far away signs much clearer. About this time I also started to become more interested in the little blinking dots in the background of movies – that is, when a person was in focus in the foreground while the background was out of focus. Because of what was happening with my eyes, I was now more conscious of the effect. So, that led to the subject of my painting, circles of light at night.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> Only recently did I run across terms for the dot display of lights. Both involve&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: bold;">photography.</span>&nbsp;The first word I noticed was&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_confusion">circles of confusion.</a>&nbsp;Wikipedia’s explanation is a bit complicated, but the general gist is what interests me. Then I noticed a word at the bottom of the page under&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: bold;">See also.</span>&nbsp;The word is&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh">bokeh.</a>&nbsp;It comes from the Japanese word “boke” meaning “blur”. Anyway, I don’t want to get too bogged down with this other than to state that it is newer facet of my dot art process.</div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> When this piece hung in the show, I received a lot of positive feedback. Since then I’ve posted this on a website and even on this blog. Several people have been moved enough to write to me a bout it. I did create this at the end of an exhausting school year; so, the painting was created in that environment.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-8699137902991876254?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/T5r7uMUcMP0" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com2http://dotart.blogspot.com/2011/11/acrylic-on-canvas-30-x-30-flashing-back.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-34951050781246888612011-11-08T19:29:00.000-06:002011-12-04T21:17:52.445-06:002011-12-04T21:17:52.445-06:00In the fall of 2002 two tropical storms came through the New Orleans area. I painted this in reaction to the local drama. Note the tape patterns in the painting. Residents tape up windows just like that before storms.<br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/S76UnScR0dI/AAAAAAAAa8A/-4AIGEh6R4c/s1600/Storm+Scare.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457963201105875410" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/S76UnScR0dI/AAAAAAAAa8A/-4AIGEh6R4c/s400/Storm+Scare.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 198px; width: 400px;" /></a></div> <div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> acrylic on canvas, 18" x 36"</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-3495105078124688861?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/k9YLtUJCQwA" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com1http://dotart.blogspot.com/2011/11/storm-scare.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-12657624189848241202011-11-04T15:20:00.000-05:002011-11-19T20:42:06.648-06:002011-11-19T20:42:06.648-06:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">Finally I come to the last of the four paintings I still own. This design idea was derived from the movie comedy, “American Wedding.” I just thought using a pie image was a natural for my dots. There is nothing specific in the imagery from the film or any of the other ones from the group. At the time I tracked down some photos of pies for the accuracy of my colors. I’m not as satisfied with the results for this one, but there you have the story.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/SiNFYJA1BQI/AAAAAAAAUNc/9Nlj1crvyIE/s1600-h/Psi.jpg" style="color: #ee32ff; text-decoration: underline;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342189864030110978" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zPzveb_czZk/SiNFYJA1BQI/AAAAAAAAUNc/9Nlj1crvyIE/s400/Psi.jpg" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; cursor: pointer; height: 397px; position: relative; width: 400px;" /></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;">acrylic on canvas, 6" x 6"</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-1265762418984824120?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/NZi0pB7lmdo" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com0http://dotart.blogspot.com/2011/11/psi.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-20523972313562781202011-10-31T15:18:00.000-05:002011-11-19T20:41:54.402-06:002011-11-19T20:41:54.402-06:00As I continued to paint this series, generating new ideas for patterns became more difficult. My inspiration for this painting came from “Jeepers Creepers 2.” Once I saw the brown colors in the film, I wanted to use them. I placed the dots in an arc path. Although this one is still in my possession, I was pleased with how this one turned out. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E7g4R0h1i-s/TsgdHSOSu1I/AAAAAAAAh1k/cKOgPf6NbO0/s1600/Chi.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E7g4R0h1i-s/TsgdHSOSu1I/AAAAAAAAh1k/cKOgPf6NbO0/s400/Chi.jpg" width="395" /></a></div> acrylic on canvas, 6" x 6"<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18372284-2052397231356278120?l=dotart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/dotart/~4/I5qcX-YIk4k" height="1" width="1"/>dotartdudehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08153712056928026621noreply@blogger.com0http://dotart.blogspot.com/2011/10/chi.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18372284.post-901937316889450632011-10-27T15:13:00.000-05:002011-11-19T20:41:38.174-06:002011-11-19T20:41:38.174-06:00This second painting of the four paintings I have left in this series. It reminds me how difficult it is to paint on top of yellow.
