Small Oil Paintings

Life is But a Dream; 12 x 11; oil on paper

  The pastel landscapes have rolled over into a series of small oil paintings.  Here I am bringing together some of the imagery I am working with in the recent large format acrylic paintings, but due to the smaller format I am able to be much more agile.  These paintings go quickly, and the ideas for the succeeding images are pushing in before the current ones are complete.  I am thrilled by the freedom with mark and detail that I have in the media and with the rich, rich, colors that I am finding in the Old Holland paints!
