Alpha Chi

My next composition was a return to a pattern I used in Alpha Sigma, However, I changed the shapes to fortune cookie-like outlines on whim. I then added dark colored dots inside the outlines and pastel colored dots to the background. The color combination gives a subtle effect.

When I made this painting, I was anxious to explore a new process for pattern making. Therefore, I tried alternating where the pattern appeared on parts of the painting. I consider this a breakthrough piece since my direction out of my
design rut. "Star Wars I" was playing on cable that night.

This dot painting began with variations of pink. Then on top of pink I painted green dots as I made a transition around the color wheel. I maintained a square in the middle with circular shapes at the corners. I shifted dots inward to red and outward to
blue.

Returning to a purple background, I decided to switch up my transition colors. Beginning with red objects, created by dots, I shifted color from orange as I progressed to green and yellow-green. Beyond that I let my dot process take its course.

Recently I went to see the Japanese animé film “Ponyo” which was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It was after seeing the movie that I painted my new dot painting. I decided to make my shapes dark and then use pastels on the space around my shapes. My guess is some will tell me the shapes are paisleys.

Yellow-Orange is the background for my dot painting below. The dots are high key making the design rather subtle. Although I have difficulty viewing this painting from  across the room, I'm pleased with my pastel colors.

It had been a while since I painted a green one. So, that was my background color. Nexxt I made four circles as part of an “X.” Between the green and the circles I thought about aliens. I’m not limiting this work to say it is simply an alien. OK, now it’s your turn.
