Splotches And Drips
Cheers To Dots!So you may or may not have noticed lately that I am into dots. Any and all kinds of dots--big, small, teeny tiny, in a pair or barely there--I love 'em. I think they make exceptional backgrounds for what might be considered "real" subjects, providing an unpredictable element of fun and whimsy. "Dotty Chickadee" was my first thus inspired painting. Chocolate/deep brown backgrounds are probably my absolute faves for warmth, depth, and richness...and chickadees--well, these tiny little birds seem just plain happy. "Dotty Owl" is my latest. I based this piece on a barred owl named Danny. He was a rehab bird as he only had one wing, and he was absolutely beautiful. His design is a bit more intricate than the chickadee, but the results are well suited to the subject! You can find "Dotty Chickadee" in pendant form here.
