Squares and more Squares

I have been working off the grid of squares idea for a long time. Recently, I began to enlarge and then expand on this idea which led me to a series of paintings which I thought were fun to look at.  First, I just enlarged the squares I was working with and did  some slightly more interesting things with them:

After completing these two, which I thought were successful, I decided to enlarge both the squares and the entire painting, as the previous squares paintings were all 12" x 12".   This led to the need to greatly simplify the design. I decided to use simple circles in the squares and did a small painting to test the idea:

I liked this design very much and decided to move ahead and work on a larger painting:

This painting greets us as we come in the door. It is very cheerful and tells us that fun things are happening in our home.
