Pointillism is a highly technical method of painting a scene. It requires the artist to have a great deal of skill as a colorist, and to apply paint in small dots or isolated strokes in such a way that the eye of the viewer will be TRICKED into seeing a convincing whole when viewing the work FROM A DISTANCE. Yes, you are right, this picture will catch your eye at any wall in your home or office. This city will look at you with a smile and you will smile in return ;))) That's my goal - to make you smile. Average child smiles about 300 times a day growing up. Average grown-up smiles 3-4 times a day. http://www.squidoo.com/pointillism-by-MB7Art
