eb

Four years ago, while The Ogden Museum of Southern Art I noticed a large abstract painting by Kendall Shaw. His use of squares in patterns intrigued me. Before leaving, I bought a catalog of his work.


acrylic on canvas, 5" x 5"

Recently I saw the painting again, at the Ogden. Also, I looked at his other paintings in the catalog I bought. Finally, I settled on some colors from his palette and started painting dots. As much as I liked his uniform squares, I let my dots vary in size.

    Neat pattern with this one, Mo. On a very personal level, this one immediately made me think of my Grandma. Her favorite color was bright, vivid red. She had red in everything all over her house. :-)

    Thank you. : )

    I'm always interested to hear about personal memories my art brings forth.

    The color red always commands attention. Restaurants use the color red to make customers hungry.

    When I finished this one, I was reminded of flannel shirts.
