The idea of doing small paintings again suggested itself this fall, since I’m not teaching at the University this semester and I have time to paint each day. My large scale paintings take a lot of time since I get involved in lots of detail and these paintings are usually only purchased by a museum or institution, but I wanted to do some work that friends and acquaintances could own and could have in their homes. I also like the idea that anyone could own an original work of art and could purchase it for under $100 rather than going to the supermarket and purchasing a print or reproduction for the same price or higher. | 2007-02-01
