Studies

I love this little study. I'm doing a larger painting from it. I hope I like it as well.

Small studies allow me to think about the space, design, paint and ponder what elements attract me and what elements will make it to a larger painting. They are no commitment paintings -- just fun dates. And often they turn into great learning experiences and sometimes, little gems.
