Recently, I only seem to work either really small or too big (too big for my budget, paint ain't cheap). This painting is 5 x 7. I have never outgrown a fascination for the depth you can create on a tiny 2 dimensional plane. I am the tortoise and not the hare, making variations on this over and over. This is how the estuary at Gearhardt felt this winter, but it's really a tiny bit of paper. Amazing. To me. My needs are simple.

lovely little panting! i commend you, Kate, for your focused exploration. beauty is found in subtle distinctions that can only be discovered after repetition.
ReplyDeleteoh my god, kate, can i be a charity and then you can donate this painting to me? i can't remember the last time i had this strong a reaction to a painting! wow. not a very expressive comment but i can't think of what else to say!!
ReplyDeleteI really like this painting. The more I look at it the more I see. And of course, it's perfectly sized for web-seeing -- like having our own magnifying glass. A painting which holds up when looked at again and again.
