On a recent rainy night I shot these photos. I wanted to point out out the kind of light imagery that influences my dot artwork.

Hard Rain
For several days in a row it has rained. One of the nights,
when I heard raindrops beating against my house, I stuck camera out the front door and captured these shots using my camera's flash.

me
The New Orleans Mac Users Group (NOMUG) goes out to eat following each monthly meeting. Over the years members have frequented various restaurants in the area. A couple of years ago, while dining at a restaurant, I noticed the tiles on the table where we sat. There were a handful of patterns that were all mixed together. Seeing the tiles made me want to create a piece that would remind me of these after-meeting-gatherings.
acrylic on canvas, 5" x 5
First I picked my palette from the colors used in the place. I then pieced together a simplified and altered composite of patterns thereby assembling my own image. While painting it, I was worried about the palette I chose. Would I like the result? As it turns out, this my favorite painting in this grouping.
