Ripples Among Flowers (2009) - Waterlily Series
Posted by mennie on 5:15 PM
Size: 40.5cm W x 30.5cm H x 3.5cm D
I used a darker background as my starting point and it contrasted well with the dots I used I think gave a feeling of depth. I really like the purple flowers & will be using them in the next painting (a really big canvas). I tried to get some differentiation with the concentric circles used for the water - a larger concentration in centre and fewer (but larger) towards the canvas edges...
Feeling more confident that I have enough 'good' ideas tried to pool them together for a big canvas - and looking forward to seeing finished result!
This acrylic painting is constructed of coloured dots approximately 1mm in diameter.

Lily Pads No.5 (2009) - Lily Pads Series

Just trying out some different variations in flower & leaf colours & contrasts. I like the 'scalloped' edges of the leaves. I tried out a monotone mid-blue background as my starting point, but a feel that the mid-tone didn't provide enough contrast with the dots to give a sense of depth.
