a black and white painting. well my version of one anyway.

how every painting starts: drawing circles using stencils I made...

my version of shading. dots get smaller combined colours get lighter.

a much earlier work where the resolve is created only through varying dot sizes.

The first painting I did, after 2 years of trying to work out how (circa 2005). Why I chose to primarily focus on a cheek escapes me.

I paint her a lot. I can't help it.

Inspired by the Victorian Era Autochrome Lumiere technique, I've started exploring an organic presentation of dots.

The mathematics took me 2 years to figure out. Weirdly it looks a lot easier (some people say) to do than the grid dots.

Now that I have the mathematics sorted, I've got quite a few things planned, starting with this sculptural idea for the dots.
