White and black and some colors too

Taking full advantage of my new “studio,” described in my last post, I spread out last week and discovered a new technique to create this new painting, which I call “White and Black (mostly) no. 1.”

If you look closely, you’ll see little dots of primary colors, fitted in among the islands and continents of black on a white sea. But if you step, back you just see black and white and shades of grey.

I like it. We’ll see what others think.

UPDATE: 3 October 2018: I learned today this painting was accepted into the Open Juried Exhibition this month at the Gallery on the Green in Canton CT.

Also, I wanted to share a couple of close-ups of the painting, which show better the dots of color.
