In May 2006 I traveled with some artists to see a show of Georgia O’Keefe’s work at the
Mississippi Museum of Art. This show was a little different in that it included correspondence with conservator Caroline Keck. The show focused on their relationship and her impact on O’Keefe’s art.
Being a fan of O’Keefe’s work, I had to create a dot painting after the show. Borrowing a yellow-green color I spotted in one of her works, I painted an exaggerated abstraction of a flower. I kind of just went my own direction.
acrylic on canvas, 5" x 5"
The lovely light greens here totally make me thing of Spring (which, in turn, makes me happy.) Very nice. :)

Damn, your work is terrific! I love how you start similarly with each (the triangle segments) and then build on them to create so many different things! The power of dots!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think it's great the way you bring us into the thought process behind each one...plus, your color choices are great, so rich and alive!
