---Pattern Painting

This painting was done for my Painting II class,  inspired by the Pattern & Decoration Movement. 

The pattern was inspired by a patterned arrangement of bricks outside of my apartment complex--- which is the first thing I see every day as I get up to my place.

 I am naturally drawn to pattern, it's something my hand automatically moves to create. What I'm really interested to work through and discover in the next year is how to incorporate some of my figurative work (like below) with some of this pattern work.
