Painting: Symmetries

After reading a book on symmetry, I paint myself a little "quilt" of colorful patterns. If you like my process …

An absolutely soul-filling evening spent in a Cambridge café, painting a new friend, and being painted by her.

I actually did a little dance after I finished this one.

A self-portrait in the style of ancient frescoes... or, at least, that was the idea.

A nod to one of the great polymaths, Leonardo da Vinci. Complete with mirror writing!

Seven months of joie de vivre, painted in almost three hours.

I like it, but I may have painted myself into a conceptual corner. Also it's moving week.
