| Oil on Canvas 11x14 |
Recently I was inspired by a friend of mine who is also an artist to work in a smaller format. This was an important moment for me because until I saw the body of work he had produced, I was giving up painting and being an artist. In the past few months since my last post, painting represented to me not a labor of love but labor to prove my value and worthiness to call myself an artist. Without any new inspiration, I closed the door to future work.

It has been refreshing for me to work again in these small canvas's. It's a quiet passion. A smaller work that does not come with the rewards of seeing a large canvas come to life, but gives me the satisfaction of moving forward. I am still passionate about my Lake Scenes, or now they have become just "Water Scenes". This format lets me continue to work with my mind's eye freely and without justification.
