Robert DeLoach Visual Art

I love making these pieces because of  the process involved, which is always fun for me to get lost in. I start off building a highly textured background by making formations in wet paint and adding layers of collage. The next step is to create my background color which will dictate the tone of the final painting. Before I start working on the dots, I have to determine their spacing and layout. Painting the first dot always begins with choosing which color i feel will play off the background the best. The color of each dot is subsequently created based on the colors of the closest dots around it. I love this process because it feels like a  game to balance all the colors while being therapeutic and meditational at the same time.These pieces have been shown on TBS movie and a makeover, and ABCs Extreme Home Makeover. The dot paintings have been included in a variety of art auctions and fundraisers. I have also had the opportunity to work on these dot paintings with classes of  Autistic children which was a remarkable experience each time.
