Circle Art

      Sometimes my brain needs a break from drawing photo-realism. My hand wants to rebel against the ridged rules and specific parameters of such precision. So the creative pendulum swings in the furthest direction possible and thus I create... Circle Art. Color... unabashed, riotous, chaotic color. Circles... basic, repetitive, infinite circles. I love them. They make me extremely happy. (almost as happy as my sweet Leeloo makes me) There are 10 in this series so far.
