This was a study on texture. The green and yellow squares are a real *scrubby* -- the green the scrub part of the two-sided sponge and the yellow the sponge. The photo part was a picture of shredded carrots that was later changed to a very red rose. (Needed more color!)
You just knew baseball would eventually make an appearance in his art! Look carefully and you'll see two different sizes of baseball players with a bat. Sort of tessallated baseball players. This one is on the list for framing!
This is definitely headed for framing. Self-portrait in black and white a la Chuck Close. I can't tell you how much time this took.
Good thing he is retired! Painting the bristol paper 9 values between white and black (a favorite theme of the instructor). Cutting them out, Pasting them on.
WOW

Thanks for sharing Mr. Dragon's art. The mosaic reminded me a lot of the exercise my sister's instructor had her go through when she started her art classes, except Meg's was all blue, green and yellow. Made an interesting picture, though, and it even looked a bit like her. The tesselated baseball player piece is fascinating.
