Little paintings

For the past few nights I have been working on a little painting. It is roughly the size of two dollar bills laid end to end.




It is a nice change of pace because of the time I can afford to spend on the tiniest details. Normally I get frustrated by only painting a few square inches in a days work.




But because the painting is only 36 sqaure inches, the percentages makes it feel "speedy." And painting grass is almost like putting together a jigsaw puzzle (a favorite childhood pastime of mine), in finding the rhythm and understanding how the reflections create the grass shapes.




All in all, I am pretty happy with my weeks work.
