Spring in small packages, yum

Doing a number of small, 6″x6″, paintings, inspired by spring, flowers, growing…..yum!

There is so much visceral pleasure to painting… with these small ones even simply holding them in my hands as I paint rather than having them on the easel is satisfying, intimate. Laying paint to canvas, feeling the give, the texture underneath the color, the delight of what begins to appear, the mystery of why different parts excite. Yum. Yum. Yum.
