Books and Bottles become bread and butter. I am working larger and smaller all at the same time. The larger work is really freeing. I am able to move with broad strokes, and while one section is drying I can work the opposite end with ease. These small pieces can be worked up a few at a time, framed as they finish. This flow of work is very functional and I will have works available for collectors with the means to buy large paintings as well as those who can only afford a small piece. Its a good rhythm for me. I would say the small works are studies, but truth be told, I don't see them that way. I work in sketch books, doodling around, trying to come up with new ideas, also I see collage as my way of finding direction. Small works are just works that are small.
