1/3 Final Paintings

04Apr12

8’x 6′     Acrylic on canvas

The arrangement of dots here is taken from photos of gum on the sidewalk outside a local bar. I used information from four adjacent blocks of sidewalk and gridded them onto the painting one by one using black paint. In between blocks I lay down a coat of thinned white paint so that the finished painting would have a variety of shades of grey. The size of the canvas was determined by the proportions of the four blocks that I was working from.

Here are a few of the blocks.
