This particular study is based on a dream I had. I was standing on another planet, doing, well nothing. Just taking it all in was enough. --------------------- I have always created small works as studies for larger paintings and/or experiment with new techniques or subjects but I have only begun in the past year to share these and offer them for sale. I usually paint one or more of these small studies per day. I didn't start this because of the painting a day "movement" as I have been doing this many years but I have acquired quite a collection of these small works so I have decided to share them. Because they are usually done as a study of a subject or idea, many times they are not in my usual style so I have been hesitant about offering them. Painting outside of my usual methods and/or style gives me the freedom to experiment without veering too far away from my personal vision of where I want to take my art. I already have a tendency to do that anyway (a symptom of having so many and varied interests!). Painting these helps me somewhat to stay on track. ---------------------
