This was the first painting of the Pi series. My vision was clear that this piece would be on a rectangular canvas rather than a square. From a blank canvas to the finished piece, I enjoyed the process. Measuring and accurately drawing the grid, double and triple checking the order and marking the colors. Painting the first coat and then a second coat of heavy body acrylic and reviewing until it looked crisp and clean. Pleased with the finished product and patterns that arose when colors replaced numbers, I wondered if changing the shapes would allow different patterns to emerge, producing a slight variation to the visual while maintaining a consistent conceptual basis.
