Crescent

"Crescent" 5" x 7" Pastel on black panel

I've been wanting to try my hand at a few more non-representational paintings. I come from a graphic design background, and it probably shows more here than in, say, my landscapes.  

I cut tape and stenciled the colors on the black panel, rubbed with my fingers, and drew around the roll of tape to make the crescent. I want to do more of these, but in a more sophisticated palette.

Dots, a Lot of Dots!

"Dots, a Lot of Dots!" 24" x 30" Acrylic on watercolor board.

Here's another piece from a collector. I made a device that resembled a Q-Tip out of fabric and dabbed one dot at a time to create this geometric image. The dots are layered one on top of another to create each colour. It would have taken many boxes of Q-tips and a lot of fuzz removal to do it with the commercial device, but this took only one, carefully made tool and no residual lint. 

Thank you for your patience while I paint house portraits.
