  1. What does "UA" stand for? And what is this website?

  2. “ua” is merely an arbitrary title I’ve assigned this painting. All the paintings in this group have a letter “a” preceded by a letter of the alphabet, i.e., “aa,” “ba,” “ca,” etc. When I finish off with “za,” I’ll go the other direction, i.e., “aa,” “ab,” “ac,” etc. I did this already with the letter “o.” Yes, I realize this results in two paintings with the same title.

    I needed some kind of method for naming the works. This is what I chose to do. It helps me keep track of the works. I’m still working out the subtitle for the first part of the “a” paintings and the second part of the “a” paintings. When I did the “o” paintings, the subtitles were “Memphis” and “New Orleans.”

    This particular painting has to do with AIM’s AIM Pages (now just Profiles) and the backgrounds offered when they were first introduced. At the time the layout was a three-columned page. The layout has changed twice since.

    This is blog called “dot art.” I have it interlinked with all my other blogs. Most of them concern different types of art I make or have made. I also have blogs with my photographs and videos. The rest of my blogs feature my other interests.

  3. I have corrected the title of this painting. It is "ta." Somehow I skipped "sa" when I was doing my titles. The post reflects the update.
