Little Mountain
1x3 foot Acrylic and Spray Paint on Canvas
We had two weeks of sun in Washington, but no more, so smaller pieces fill the gap for now. While I prefer larger works, these smaller ones are essential for maintaining a range of sizes and prices. They can feel less special or demanding, but that’s rarely the case—smaller work relieves the pressure and proves there is always something worth finding, even when it isn’t immediately obvious.
We had a solid two weeks of sun here in Washington, but no more. So, it’s smaller pieces for the meantime. Also, purely from an output perspective, I need a wide range of sizes and prices. As much as I prefer the larger pieces, these smaller ones are still important.
It’s hard not to let my preferences lead my work. It can feel less special, like it requires less effort—smaller art and all that. But it isn't, and sometimes that only becomes clear to me days or weeks later. Sometimes too much pressure is a bad thing, and knowing where the line is isn’t possible until after the fact. Smaller work teaches me there’s something worth finding, even when you don’t think there is.
