Paintings large and small

There will be several of my small paintings available at The Antlers Gallery, nestled amongst the full sheet and half sheet paintings. Paintings that my intern kindly dubbed "little treasures".
Venice Night 6" x 8" watercolour
I am often asked how big I like to work with my paintings, and I cant really connect with that question at all. I prefer easier ones like "Whats your favourite colour?"
Some of the pieces that I enjoy the most are no bigger than a 4 x 6 inch postcard.
Currently I am sketching out ideas for a drawing which will be 40 feet long.
You'll need a larger than average mantlepiece for that one!

    Thank you, Jitka. Thats quite a compliment and it touches on my belief that buildings and the cities we live in are like slowly moving, slowly adapting living organisms whose life blood, memories and actions are directed by countless lives. Almost like our internal bacteria living within us in a symbiotic relationship. But nicer to look at.
