New Dot Paintings: “Dots 4″ and “Dots 5″

Catching up with the little bitty dot paintings:

"Dots 4" by Barbara J Carter, 5x7", acrylic on canvas panel, 2009

"Dots 5" by Barbara J Carter, 5x7", acrylic on canvas panel, 2009

I’m particularly pleased that some of the background detail shows up in “Dots 5″. It’s almost completely obscured in “Dots 4″, but you can just barely make it out if you look closely.

These little paintings are fun little works of art in their own right, but they’re also studies and experiments leading up to larger paintings. With these little bitty paintings I can work out what colors I like, how well the background details show up, things like that. So there will be more to come.

Each of these paintings is available for $45 plus postage (and sales tax in California).

Sorry, “Dots 4″ and “Dots 5″ are both sold. You can see my other little dot paintings here, or you can see all of my available art here.
