Clear Conscience

My first attempt at making a type of pointillism painting which didn't make up an entire picture from the design of all the small dots, but rather a bunch of smaller designs within a much larger design like a color race of dots.  There are various images within the entire painting, arranged in a sort of "Where's Waldo" format.  I can say for certain that this painting is definitely something that I'll most likely only do this one time.  The entire painting took the course of a month to do, approximately.  Not a month straight, if you ever have painted dots before you'd understand that it takes an extreme amount of patience.  Sitting there for an hour is hard enough, which is why an hour here, and hour there, took a month to complete.  I don't know how artists in the past and present can have the patience to drop tiny drops of paint onto a canvas but it's impressive to say the least.  I did want to try this technique at least once to see how I would like it or what I would think of it.  It's definitely an interesting piece with tons of personality.  The name is of course quite fitting.  I am posting another picture of the close up of the dots, what do YOU see?  Leave comments, I am very interested in hearing your thoughts....
