This series of paintings has been evolving for almost 10 years now. I enjoy making small paintings because I want people to get up close to really look at them. I want them to see all of the wonderful brush strokes and colors that arise while I paint.
And I enjoy painting this simple subject matter. I find it fascinating. Even though they are common objects, there is always something new to discover; it is still interesting even after so many years. It is also very convenient for me to make art on this scale, as it encourages me to keep working even when life gets busy.
