Somehow I have ended up with numerous small works in progress in my studio. All paintings are hard to make but small paintings present big challenges. The other day I realized how much time, energy, consideration, materials, blood (literally sometimes I say with a sliced finger as I type) sweat and tears are involved. There is a preciseness and economy of formal elements, along with the decision whether the piece is going to deliver a big punch or a quiet whisper. It is a challenge.

You nailed it, Lisa.
I couldn't agree more if I tried. The smaller ones are often like a very intense chess match that takes weeks to win.
Sure--They're fun, but definitely a challenge!
I love small paintings and I love these!
/Love the idea of little works of art! They also fit together beautifully.
Your work is lively and lovely!
