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.
This is very nice, Mo. The middle orange part kind of reminds me of the red bandana scarves some people wear. This one turned out very well.

interesting blog! I bet you have heard about Australian native Aboriginal dot art?
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have heard about Australian native Aboriginal dot art. Looking at that type of art has been inspirational for me.
Also, I have enjoyed viewing dot art by George Seurat, Victor Vasarely, Vance Kirkland and Yayoi Kusama. As I continue to paint this way, I keep discovering other artists who use dots as a means of artistic expression.
