I have a continued interest in the connection of the view from an artist's window and their own work. Here is Tamar Zinn's window and view with one of her paintings.

Small Work

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.
