Yesterday my good friend, Ruth Armitage posted a link to to a book "Daily Painting: Paint Small and Often to Become a More Creative, Productive, and Successful Artist." You know how something said, or an article you read, or (in this case) a book title is just what you need to spur you on?
Seeing that book title was a good reminder to me that I don't always have to go to the studio and create a masterpiece. Sometimes it is just a wonderful thing to experiment and paint for the fun of it. The idea of having fun with some small works on papers really appealed to me. As I was searching through my file drawers, I came across some pieces that had not been successful, but already had paint and collage on them.
Sometimes I find it easier to work on "stuff" rather than start with white paper. So I tried to capture some more successful parts of these 12 x 15 inch papers.

So this was reduced to

| Cropped Old Work |
This

| Ponds #2,5 x 7 inches |
Which became this finished small work on paper.
 |
| Ponds #3, 5 x 7 inches |
Here are a couple more examples of the small works on paper I did today.

Ponds #1, 8 x 8 inches

I'd love to hear your comments about these works on paper!
