When I make my lists of ideas I don’t always anticipate that a piece will document something that changes. The painting below was inspired by five designs offered by AOL’s AIM Profile pages. They were ones I used for my profile pages. But then AOL bought Bebo last May. In February AIM Profiles were forced to become Bebo Profiles.


acrylic on canvas, 5" x 5"

The designs had masthead-like tops. So, I decided this piece should be made up of horizontal stripes. I then simplified the imagery for my painting. Of course the designs became dots too. The colors were a challenge to mimic. Although I wouldn’t normally group these five color combinations together, I’m happy with the result. The combined patterns are eclectic.

    I've had quilters come up to me before and talk about the quilt look of my dot paintings. Here is one of the early paintings that preceded the smaller ones.

    Pretty...I'm particularly drawn to the 2nd & bottom stripes, for some reason...

    This is nice, Mo. A couple of them kind of remind me of the non-skid little dots they put on the bottom of slippers for your feet. :D
