More Tic Tac Toe Paintings

Trying to paint with a tic-tac-toe theme has been extremely frustrating.  I never imagined I would have so much trouble doing it.  I guess for me, having a design in my head to begin with doesn't allow me to be spontaneous and free. 

I worked a bit more on Tic-Tac-Toe-3:

Tic Tac Three, 48" x 48" 

I like it better now, but would have made different choices if I'd had a chance to do it again.

Here's one that is looser and doesn't follow the design literally:

  Tic Tac Four, 30" x 30"

It is Labor Day, and all the Cornell and Ithaca College students are back on campus.  A friend of ours just moved here after getting 3 adjunct classes to teach at Tompkins Cortland Community College.  He will live with us until he finds his own place.

Summer is over.
