"The fine art of 'Pointillism' was created by the Post-Impressionist arts, Georges Seurat (1859-1891). The theory behind this art form employs the sciences of physics and optics. This is the concept that colors and images are blended by the human eye, and color and images are made by using dots on the surface of the painting. 'Stipple' is the same idea but the images are rendered in black and white. Occasionally color is added to a stipple work to create emphasis or to set a mood within the picture. Pointillism has gained new popularity in the art world as a fresh directions in self expression. I hope you will enjoy the art works that I have created." --Marilyn Larson
