The Dot Lady

As you can see I changed the format of my blog again. Now that I finished my latest painting I have a little time to play with this blog. I chose this dot background because almost every painting I create has dots incorporated in it in one way or another from just a subtle use in the pistil of a flower to the decorative touch in my boarders. I choose to use painted boarders in my art instead of mats. You may notice in some of my works I allow the subject of the painting to overflow the boarder. I think it adds perspective to the painting. But, I digress....My point was dots. People are fascinated by them, about how precise and how many of them are in a painting. They want to know how I do them. My secret is first measure and mark where each one will be placed then using a high tech tool to execute them. It is called a toothpick! I am beginning to be called "The Dot Lady".
