16 Small Paintings 9.14.16

Sixteen paintings (!) You're thinking: Does this woman ever eat or sleep? I do. I eat quite well, three squares a day. I sleep, not so well, usually thinking about how to resolve a painting that is not working. So, I eat, sleep and paint, and not much else. For now anyway. That's because I am motivated to get a whole new body of work together for a show coming up next weekend. I need to do this because everything I have is in another show which will be over 3 days after the show next weekend. But this is okay - the pressure is inspiring, and I'm having fun!
