Loving the small scale

I've been working incredibly hard marking.  The whole time
I feel the pull of my studio.  There is one large work, I
am slowly moving through when there is a minute or two.
And that is how it's been for quite a few days.  A minute or
two.

Then I looked around, and saw a group of cradled birch panels
and one was gessoed.  How perfect.  This weekend in my
pockets of time I've been enjoying working on this one.

I love working in all sizes.  Big is fantastic and powerful.
Small is great and affordable for buyers.  This is still
a work in progress.  I hope you had a wonderful
Victoria Day (in Canada we get a holiday for Victoria's
birthday -- three cheers for you Victoria.)

Have a loving what you do day.
