My work actually works best seen en masse - because it's about time as well that comes through when you see them together.
I was dubious when I ordered these tiny canvasses but I think I'll have to get some more :>)
I work plein air a LOT when I can and fill sketchbooks with mixed media works (and finished pieces)
then I work in the studio as well working on larger canvasses or alternatively, lately I've done quite a bit of very small work like these.
So, they are studio works from memories fixed by the plein air stuff.
I work fast and tend to have layers of paint - glazed, scumbled, splattered - whatever it takes to get what I want.
I mix a lot of colours on the canvas rather than on the palette.
